FOREWORD 
It is a pleasure again to greet all of you and express our sincere thanks 
for your patronage. 
At this writing our crop is harvested and we are now more than ever 
convinced that our move here to Ukiah in Northern California was the wisest 
thing we could do. We are harvesting a bumper crop of the nicest looking, 
most solid, cieanest, high crowned bulbs we have ever seen. Our land is virgin 
river bottom silt. We have plenty of good water. Our summers are long, dry, 
and I won't say very hot, but almost. Uur plants came through 105° tempera- 
ture in fine shape. We planted our bulblets a month later than we did at 
Downey, but by July ist they were ahead of our Southern California plant- 
ings and by October Ist they were mature and ready to dig and we got 
thousands of large bulbs from our bulblets. 
You will never buy nicer bulbs than we have for you this year. Due to our 
bumper crop in every variety we are going to put surprise bulbs of newer 
varieties in every order ot $3.00 or more. ‘hese will be bulbs of varieties that 
many of you wish you could afford to buy. I know how that is. 1 remembe1 
the tirst time | paid $5.0U for a glad bulb. Lots of people said lots of things, 
but the glad bug hadn't stung them. If you don’t want the glad bug to bite 
you, perhaps you had better stay away trom some of the tempting beauties. 
All summer long we had no less than 300 to 400 humming birds at one 
time darting here and there on the field. And the deer were there, too. ‘Chey 
would cross the glad patch over and over again and step over the rows. When 
the glads got to blooming the deer then used the aisles. However, not so with 
the tawns. | hey wouid piay and get on the glads some. Often times | threat- 
ened to have fawnburgers. We have seen as many as seven at one time. 
The deer stayed out of our seedling patch, which numbered over 
5,000 again this year. We really had some good ones, too. Among them was a 
pure biue, not purple nor violet, but actually pure blue. And red ones—we 
had a dozen or more that will make 6’ spikes, all huge. Perhaps one will be 
worth keeping. 
This year we showed our glads at the Santa Rosa, Ukiah and Los Angeles 
fairs. Over a million people saw them and orders to date have been very 
gratifying. :
