Lins Gladiolus bulbs are planted in long even rows and 
bulbs are carefully laid by hand at our planting plots. 
“IT can’t begin to tell you the joy which the bulbs I received from you for 1947 
brought to my wife and me. It was our first acquaintanceship with your introduc- 
tions; they were wonderful. We are fond of all of them which we grew but we’d 
especially single out Beltrami, Melrose and 37167. The prices in your catalog evidently 
don’t mean much what with all the extras you put in our order. 
Rev. A. C. Munz, Welcome, Minn., 11-25-47 
“Herewith an additional order for $15.35. The previous order sent me was re- 
ceived in excellent condition. The bulbs are beautifully clean and your extras are 
appreciated. Had I had your catalog earlier I woulda have had more of your bulbs.” 
June 16, 1947, Mr. Johnsonius wrote: “I am so impressed by the appearance of 
the bulbs received that I’m sending you another $12.00 order.” 
Alex L. Johnsonius, Paris, Tenn., May 31, 1947 
cy saw SPELLBOUND at the glad show in Minneapolis. It was outstandingly 
lovely and the basket of DREAM CASTLE was the most beautiful entry there.” 
Mrs. W. W. Straub, Hutchinson, Minn., Apr. 22, 1947 
“I enjoyed growing and watching the seedlings I bought from you very much. 
It adds a lot to glad growing and enjoyed it more than watching new named varieties 
come into bloom.” Rod. E.: Scherrer, Two River, Wisconsin 
“TREASURE ISLAND, very good, should be No. 1 in any field. VIRGIN is all 
you claiin- did well but look out, we had a seedling that beat it. HALLOWEEN, 
MARQUEETA, and RIO RITA are all good. BLACK PANTHER stretched up well, 
opened slowly and is a beautiful color. —,TROCADERO- No. 1 in its color. Kreuger’s 
GOLD MEDAL looks excellent from all sizes. Navaho beat Mercury, Kenwood, Stop- 
light. We had trouble getting these last named to stretch up. These glads were 
grown under poor conditions, too wet early and too dry later. 
J. R. Welty, Rockford, Ill., Aug. 27, 1947 
“T want to thank you for the nice bulbs you sent me last year. I had the loveliest 
bloom I ever had.” Mrs. J. L. Buchanan, Ft. Worth, Tex., Feb. 1947
