GREETINGS 
Lang-Bar Gardens presents our 1950 Gladiolus catalog 
with pride and pleasure. 
We bring to you after a careful selection, what we feel 
are the better new introductions, the standard varieties, and 
choice older varieties not frequently listed. All listings are in 
alphabetical order, following each variety listed we give the 
year of introduction, National Color Classification, prices ac- 
cording to size, and a few words of description. 
As in past years we are maintaining our high standard 
of quality. Our location in the San Fernando Valley makes it 
possible for us to produce bulbs, because we have a long grow- 
ing period, which brings them to full maturity. Our soil is con- 
ditioned each year as recommended by a National Chemical 
Company so that our bulbs have a high growth potential. The 
moisture content of our soil is controlled. Our weather conditions 
do not require the use of artificial processes of curing. We have 
storage facilities which permit the circulation of natural air. 
Through the latest scientific methods of handling, we are able 
to give fine quality at a low price. 
We feel sure that, all things being equal, you will derive 
much pleasure from growing these high quality bulbs, and your 
time and efforts, when they bloom, will give you supreme 
satisfaction. |
