Growing and selling Gladiolus bulbs is a business with us— 
not a hobby. 
To secure and hold your business we must do three things. 
First, we must fill each and every order with the highest quality 
stock that is possible to grow. Second, we must give full, gen- 
erous count on your orders. Third, prices must be as low as the 
investment in stocks of new varieties and the production of 
quality bulbs will permit. On new, expensive varieties, it is 
the initial investment that regulates prices. A cataloguer, in 
order to keep his list of varieties up to date, must expend a large 
sum each year for the latest introductions. As to the older 
varieties, the price depends mostly upon the cost of labor and 
other expenses of growing. 
As our livelihood depends upon our business, we will most 
assuredly make every effort to supply our customers with the 
same quality stock that we would expect to receive.
