Until the war years we revised and improved our list of Gladiolus 
each year to include the best variety in its color class regardless of 
price. Subsequently, the price was reduced as quantities were avail- 
able. Some varieties, as Picardy, never entirely lost their position as 
leaders’ for years. 
With labor available and flower shows scheduled again, we have 
resumed our policy to add, eliminate, and generally revise our list 
annually. 
We suggest that you select a few of the newer ones. Watch and 
compare them in your own garden, and know them next year at 
reduced prices. 
Due, no doubt, to scientific treatment of planting stock for years 
our Gladioli have always been free from thrip. As an added precau- 
tion and to be sure that bulbs supplied by us are absolutely free from 
this pest, we will also scientifically treat our bulbs again before ship- 
ment is made to our customers. 
Inasmuch as thrip lives in the soil, as well as on the bulbs in stor- 
age, through the winter, it is imperative that our bulbs be planted 
on soil where Gladioli were not grown last year and not close to other 
Gladioli from other sources. 
We guarantee our bulbs to be the largest size and well matured, 
which is absolutely essential for producing exhibition flowers.
