EAST ROCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE 
Still believing that pleased customers are the very best form of 
advertising, we once more offer you a list of bulbs at prices which 
we believe to be substantially lower than those of any other grower 
in the United States. We guarantee our bulbs to be clean and healthy, 
free of thrips and true to name. If a mistake occurs we will cheer- 
fully make it right. All orders must be for at least $3.00 and must 
be accompanied by cash. You may buy 10 at 8 times the price of 
one, and you may have five or more at the 10 rate but no single pack- 
aged item for less than .20. The per 100 rate is 8 times the price 
of 10. If you buy at the single or 10 rate the bulbs will be shipped 
prepaid, but by the 100 rate they will go collect. We will not sub- 
stitute one variety for another unless requested to do so, but in the 
event we are sold out of one size we will fill the order with the next 
size smaller, giving equal value, unless instructed otherwise. Plant- 
ing stock (under one half inch) will be sold for half the price of small . 
bulbs. Prices of bulblets at the quart rate will be quoted upon re- 
quest. While we unhesitatingly guarantee our bulbs to. be healthy, 
we cannot, because of weather conditions, guarantee the crop. All 
orders are accepted subject to these conditions and to prior sale, and 
obvious errors in price are hereby cancelled. 
GLADIOLUS TIPS 
ABIGAIL is a fine lavender. CONNECTICUT YANKEE is a 
sure winner but a slow propagator. BENGASI can be wonderful 
but it is imelined to crook in hot weather. BEAUTY’S BLUSH has 
perfect form and delicate coloring. DAISY MAE is a grand com- 
mercial. DIEPPE is in a class by itself. DRUM MAJOR and 
LARIME are two fine dark orange glads. My EGLANTINE bulblets 
gave me better than 90% germination when peeled. It is a glad which 
can win in anybody’s show. HUNTRESS won the three spike cham- 
pionship for me in Maine this last season. IVY ROBERTSON will 
consistently throw a 24 bud spike. KING ALFRED is a giant and 
has both form and color. LAVENDER PRINCE seems to be in the 
lead as a very dark lavender. LOVELY LADY is’ lovely indeed with 
her starched ruffles.) MARLENE BOTH has every needful thing. 
GOLDEN STATE is a fine late yellow. Our ORIENTAL PEARL 
surpassed its magnificent self this summer. PHANTOM BEAUTY 
is a very pale pink but it is the pinnacle of form and grace. RHETT 
BUTLER is out in front as a very early red. ROYAL WINDSOR 
has a distinctive and beautiful color. SUPREME BEAUTY was our 
commercial find in 1949. It has all the beauty of GLAMIS but is a 
100% cutter. SPIC AND SPAN is just as good as it is advertised 
to be. SILVER WINGS seems to have a slight edge over LEADING 
LADY. SUNLIGHT is one of the most beautiful glads in existence 
and a good grower. WESTERN STAR is a giant PICARDY. Here’s 
another hot tip. Watch for Russ Kelly’s originations. He is a com- 
ing young hybridizer. And here is another tip. Magazine advertis- 
ing is mighty expensive but it is an expense which the purchaser 
eventually pays. Our way is expensive, too, but it is the customer 
and not the advertising agency who gets the profit. So tell some 
other glad fan about us, will you please? Only in that way can we 
continue to sell at such extremely low prices. 
Thanks a million. ,
