of Progress Gold Mecal in Chicago, 1933, for the best commercial display of 
Gladiolus in competition with the world. 
We are an old established firm offering quality stock, at fair prices with 
good service. We will not be happy with your order unless you are happy 
with our shipment. So let’s work together.

Dear Sir: Received my order of bulbs today (Sat., Dec. 17)'’and’ am well 
pleased. I checked my order against another catalog and your prives were 
much lower. Thanks very much for the extras and also for the large size 
bulbs of Leading Lady (my favorite). I hope that I can grow them as well 
as these bulbs look. Yours truly, ©. G. ive -
