HELLO GLAD FANS: - 
It is indeed a pleasure to send you our 1950 catalog of Gladiolus 
Bulbs which feature a variety of fine gladiolus. AT this time we wish 
to kindly thank our customers of the past season for their many or- 
ders and letters of thanks for stock received. May we continue to 
please you with satisfied purchases for years to come. 
Our aim is to please every customer whether order is large or small 
for we know there is no advertisement more important to any business 
than a satisfied customer. Bach and every order is given the same con-~ 
sideration and attention,whether it is a new customer or one who has 
purchased from us for years. 
We are not in the true sense of the word a commercial grower, but 
grow these bulbs chiefly to find a control for the various diseases 
affecting them.(Call it a hobby,craze,or anything you like,but we get 
just ag much enjoyment in growing a field of healthy stock as many of 
you do in winning a blue ribbon at the shows.) 
The main factor in the superior quality of our bulb has been clean- 
liness with no over crowded conditions during drying and storing per- 
iod,and what we believe to be ideal drying and storing methods for our 
particular climate. (no specific method can be followed by everyone 
due to the varying climatic conditions in which you live.) 
Our State Inspector has given us the rating of the cleanest and 
finest bulbs grown in the State of Wisconsin for the past several 
years and that can only be accomplished by many hours of particular 
labor. Yet with that honor bestowed upon us,WE HAVE NEVEF CLAIMED 
THEM L0 BE 100% DESEASE FREE.(we know there is no bulb free of de- 
sease) WE ONLY CLAIM THEM TO BE DESEASE CONTROLLED.
