Greetings 
To our many friends and customers we wish to extend our thanks for their patronage and 
favors in the past. We appreciate your business and are grateful for your support and consid- 
eration. We are very much encouraged and intend to carry on. We hope to supply you at all 
times with the finest of glads. Every glad offered in our list is superior in every respect. All are 
beautiful, exquisite, fine, tall growing modern varieties of recent introduction. They are selected 
from lists of the world’s best hybridists, and all of them have been winners at recent state or na- 
tional gladiolus exhibitions throughout the nation. They have real beauty and refinement and 
will make you proud when you grow them and show them. They are indeed a great addition 
to any garden as each variety listed has merit and is worthy of your consideration. Get started 
with some of these new and modern varieties of glads and you will surely become a glad fan if 
you have not done so already. 
LOCATION: Golden Gardens are located in ‘‘The Garden Spot of the World,’”’ Southeastern 
Pennsylvania. Parkesburg is forty-four miles west of Philadelphia, and twenty-two miles east of 
Lancaster along the P. R. R. main line. Soil, climate, rainfall, in fact growing conditions, here 
are unsurpassed. I believe it is impossible to produce better bulbs anywhere. We are situated one 
mile west of Parkesburg. 
From time to time we will continue to offer the best from growers and hybridizers from all 
over the world. 
GUARANTEE: We guarantee all our stock to be healthy, vigorous, free from thrips and 
true toname. We want you to be satisfied. If, for any reason, bulbs are not satisfactory when you 
receive them we will replace them or make a satisfactory settlement but not exceeding the pur- 
chase price of the bulbs. All quotations are subject to prior sale. If any stock is unsatisfactory 
tell us and we will try to satisfy you. If you like our bulbs and our service tell your friends. 
ORDER EARLY: We urge that you place your order early so that you may not be disap- 
pointed. Our stock of some varieties is small due to the labor shortage and conditions beyond our 
control. As conditions improve and labor and facilities improve we will have larger stock. We 
do not like to fill orders received later than May 15. Small bulbs and bulblets, May ist. We 
are usually planting after that date. So we will not promise to fill orders after these dates even if 
we have the stock. But we will try. Orders are segregated as soon as possible when received 
and shipment will be made as soon as possible, weather conditions considered, or will be shipped 
at the time designated in your order. No substitutions will be made without your permission. 
If we are out of a variety you order, your money will be refunded unless you give us permission 
to substitute in size or variety. If so we will substitute the nearest color, size, and price range 
that we have in stock. 
PREPAID CASH PRICES All orders from this list will be prepaid to points in the United 
States 1f the order amounts to three dollars or more. Please do not ask us to send an order C. O. D. 
unless you make a deposit of at least twenty-five per cent. 
GOLDEN GARDENS GIVE GOLDEN MEASURE We always give some extra and 
will be pleased to have you mention any extra that you would like. We shall be governed ac- 
cordingly.
