GREETINGS 
Again it is a pleasure to send you my 1949 list of Gladiolus. You will find a large 
number of recent introductions, introduced within the last two or three years, also a 
good many of the older ones which should be in every garden. Although the newer ones 
are higher in price this does not necessarily mean that they are any better. They may 
or may not be. I offer none for sale which I do not think worthy of culture. Buy accord- 
ing to your (pocketbook. 
I wish to assure all my customers that I will give their orders my personal at- 
tention and do everything in my power to see that they receive the utmost value for 
their investment. 
I wish to take this opportunity to thank my friends and customers for their pa- 
tronage in the past years and, to wish them a most successful 1949 season. 
ORDER EARLY 
My advice to you is ORDER EARLY as every variety I list is grown by me, and 
when stock is gone there will ‘be no more until next year. I have made it a practice 
to sell only what I grow. In this way I know what my customers are getting. 
GUARANTEE 
I guarantee satisfaction. My stock is thrifty and true to name, free of disease and 
insects at the time of shipment. Occasional errors are humanly possible. If for any 
reason you are not satisfied please write to me and I will do my utmost to make Satis- 
factory adjustment. Likewise, if you are pleased I will be very glad to hear from you, 
especially in regard to the varieties that do best for you.
