It is with pleasure that my 1950 list of gladiolus is placed 
in your hands. | welcome this opportunity to thank you for 
the many repeat orders which have been received over the 
sixteen years that a price list has been issued from this home. 
| have attempted to bring to your attention a few of the 
innumerable introductions of the passing years. 
We, in Wisconsin, are very conscious of our many splen- 
did hybridizers who aid so much in improving the quality of 
gladiolus. Their enthusiasm in our gladiolus societies and 
the numerous flower shows in our, and neighboring states, is 
an important factor in national, hence international, friend- 
ships. 
My business has developed to the point that only wo- 
men are chief operators. My remaining high school daugh- 
ters manage the Bolens-Huski and the Rotary-Tiller during 
vacations. We have agreed that bigger and more equipment 
is needed for economical production of the great flower. 
To drastically reduce planting acreage this listing in- 
cludes the entire stock of small lots at much below cost 
prices. The bulblets and planting stock of the substantial 
| tavorites of the commercial buyers are quoted for quick sale 
to those who wish to invest heavier in cut flower business.
