FLORIST SUPPLIES FOR OUR CUSTOMERS 
We have found that our Glad customers are unable to purchase florist supplies, to 
combine with their flowers, and continue to advance in their hobby of Gladiolus. It 
is next to impossible to construct the modern floral designs, without the basic materials 
to work with. Every Glad fan has that desire to become proficient in creating floral 
beauty of design with the flowers that he, himself has raised. All professional florists 
have gained their technical skill through practice in working with flowers, and using 
their creative imaginations to construct floral beauty. A large percentage of Glad 
fans can become proficient in floral design by continued practice in combining basic 
materials with their flowers. Your commercial florist refuses to sell these basic ma- 
terials to you because of business reasons. We want our Glad customers to advance 
with their hobby, and attain the fullest satisfaction from the flowers that they grow. 
Whether we will continue to offer these florist supplies in our catalog depends upon 
the response we receive from our customers. In other words, if you wish to have this 
supply available to you, only your orders can determine. We can ship these supplies 
with your Gladiolus bulbs. 
SUGGESTIONS IN FLORAL DESIGN 
CORSAGE—Gladiolus florets can be so designed to resemble doubles, which lend 
themselves perfectly for corsage construction. This doubling can be designed to re- 
semble a Camellia, thus the name Glamellia, which is one of our most popular corsages. 
HAIR, DRESS ORNAMENTS and WRIST BRACELETS—This type of floral 
design should be made from the smaller florets and buds near the tip of the spike. 
Daintiness is the secret of these smaller floral pieces. 
SPRAYS—The older “‘moss-board” sprays are being supplanted by the modern 
tied sprays. All material needed for this type of spray is your Glads, greens, ribbon 
and florist thread or wire. 
BASKET and TABLE ARRANGEMENTS—Glad fans are generally well versed 
with this type of work, because the material is usually available to them at gift and 
pottery stores.
