FRIENDLY GLAD GARDENS CORUNNA, MICHIGAN 


GREETINGS 
It is a pleasure to send you our 1948 list of Gladiolus. You will find the best of the present day glads 
listed. As you review this catalog you will notice a rather large list of newer glads. This is due to 
our effort to make available to you the best of both the old and the new. Price is not necessarily a 
criterion cf how good a glad may be; it usually indicates the amount of stock in existence. The greater 
the stock the lower the price. 
Your crders will receive our personal attention, and we will do everything in our power to see that 
you receive the utmost value for your investment. Al! our stock is hand dug, cleaned and graded.
