BOY 
A Message of Thanks 
Again we thank you for your patronage, and we solicit a continuation of same. We 
will continue to give your Orders our same careful attention. This is our Twenty-Fourth 
Annual Catalog, and we want to say our “Glads” were wonderful this year—just about 
the best ever. We harvested a good crop of nice clean bulbs. 
The picture on our Catalog we think gives you the best advertisement for our bulbs, 
that we know of. It shows you at a glance, our field, and where your bulbs are grown. 
You will notice we are introducing two new varieties this year, and we are sure 
they are just what the Public and Florists are looking for. BARBARA-DEE is the love- 
liest color of Fuchsia Purple, and ZEB has such lovely, slightly ruffled, white Florets, 
which when fully opened have a pale lavender sheen overall. We know you will want 
to stock up on these varieties. See Page 3 for description. Thanking you again. 
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL 
SEABROOK NURSERIES,

GLAD-I-O’LUS:— 
Please pronounce this wonderful flower right. The accent on the O’. 
GLAD-I-O’-LUS and use the same form for both singular and plural. It hurts to 
hear one say GLADIOLA or GLADIOLIS! 
DO GLADS CHANGE COLOR? GLADIOLUS do NOT Change Color. 
We have been asked this question hundreds of times. So many varieties divide or 
split. Suppose you plant twelve mixed bulbs, when you dig them you find you have 
about thirty bulbs. That is the reason you have more of one color than others. Many 
varieties do not divide, so you dig only one new bulb on the one you planted. And some 
not quite so strong just die out in the eround. 
Of course glads grow older each year, you dig a new bulb not a young one. So it is 
best to keep adding more bulbs to your collection each year. 
PLANTING TIME 
Our planting time here is around APRIL to JUNE, so when ordering your bulbs to be 
sent to you at planting time, please state when planting time is in your locality. It 
will help us a lot. 
WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS 
Please notify us so we can change our files. Also please give your old address at 
the same time. This will save us many catalogues and you will receive yours. THANK 
YOU,
