Regarding Gloomiug Dates 
Every year we have customers write regarding blooming dates of their glads. We have 
attempted to give you this, following the name of each variety. However, these dates are 
only approximate and cannot be determined exactly as weather conditions have a lot to 
do with them. Cold late spring weather will hold back some and they will not bloom as 
early as some planted later after the ground has warmed thoroughly and continues warm 
thereafter. We have had glads that, planted in the first part of May, would normally bloom 
in 70 days, but planted later in moist warm ground with excellent growing conditions 
bloomed in 53 days. Hence we try to give you the date for normal weather. Varieties 
marked Early normally bloom in 70 to 75 days; Early Mid-Season, 75 to 80 days; Mid- 
Season, 85 to 90 days; Late Mid-Season, 90 to 100 days, and Late, over 100 days. 
Kemember... 
Karly orders always get the “Cream of the Crop” and you are sure to get the varieties and 
size you want. We always run out of some varieties and sizes later on, so order early and 
be sure. 
I wish to inform you how beautiful were the gladiolus blooms from the bulbs purchased from you. Every 
one more beautiful than the other. I surely am well satisfied and pleased and have enjoyed the blooms both 
outdoors in my garden and then when cut and brought into my home. I kept them to every top flower. 
I wanted to let you know I am a well satisfied customer and am looking forward to next year and the 
lovely gladiolus. Mrs. H. M., Cleveland, Ohio
