Our bulb sales for the season 1947 far surpassed anything we had hoped 
for. We now wish to thank all those customers who sent orders to us, and we 
do hope that their bulbs produced fine bloom for them. We appreciate your 
patronage and hope to please you always. We also appreciate the many fine 
letters complimenting our varieties. A gladiolus has passed the test if you find 
it in this catalogue and it has a definite use in the garden, the show or 1n 
commercial floral channels. Only quality hand-cleaned inspected stock Is 
shipped and I shall be glad to know if at any time our service and quality do 
not warrant your utmost satisfaction. 
As you glance through this catalogue, you will readily notice that our 
listing is small. The reason is that no one grower can grow, and judge, all 
varieties as there are several hundred in existence. Also there are varieties 
which we could have listed that have been replaced by new and better kinds. 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING

the best quality__clean, true to name, ete., equal to any regardless of where
