Dear Glad Fans: 
It is with pleasure that we send 
you our 1948 Handbook of Gladiolus 
prices and information. Many thanks 
for the fine orders of last season and 
for the expressions and compliments 
on our service and the quality of our 
bulbs. Your letters have furnished 
the inspiration needed to show us 
the way for additional features and 
services for 1948. 
Visitors are Welcome 
We extend a hearty welcome to visi- 
tors, not only to our gladiolus fields, 
but to our beautiful State as well. 
Utah, in the heart of the Rockies, is 
the central point for visitors to our 
beautiful Western National Parks and 
Monuments, namely: Zions, Bryces, 
Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Arches, 
Natural Bridges, Dinosaur, Cedar 
Breaks, Capitol Reefs, Timpanogos 
Cave, and others. We hope many of 
you will be induced to travel in Utah 
this summer. 
Late last autumn we were able to 
purchase a new and much larger 
place, so this summer our fields will 
be situated just two miles southeast 
of Provo, approximately two blocks 
east of Springville Road (Highway 91) 
on 13th South Street. Right at the foot 
of the lofty Wasatch Mountains. Make 
it a point to come and see them. The 
complete planting consists of over 
1500 named varieties and many seed- 
lings. They will be in bloom during 
July, August and September. 
Join a Gladiolus Society 
The New England Gladiolus Society 
is the oldest and largest Gladiolus 
Society on the Continent, has many 
departmental activities, and world- 
wide membership of over 6000. Each 
year they publish ‘The Gladiolus” 
containing numerous articles, many 
written especially for the Backyard 
Gardener, on gladiolus care, culture, 
selection of varieties, hybridizing, etc. 
This is a deluxe, flexible, imitation 
leather bound, illustrated book for 
your library. The society also pub- 
lishes, each year, six issues of the 
“Gladiolus Magazine,” containing
