BULBLETS (BLTS) 
These are not bulbs, though several unscrupulous concerns have amassed fortunes 
by misrepresenting them to you (the public) via press and radio, before hcnest growers 
could expose them. 
Bulblets are neither seeds or bulbs, but are more like seeds, in that they germinate 
as seeds do, and like seeds, some are more difficult than others to germinate. The Bulb- 
lets found at the base of mother buibs at harvest time are the only true increase of the 
Gladiolus. From them are grown the true to name bulbs offered via this and other 
growers listings. Unless you know the above, germination, growth, etc. do nct buy 
them, or if you do, ask for cultural directions. 
And if 200 Bulblets for $1.98 still sounds like a bargain to you, you may have them 
from here, but not for $2.00. The price is just Two Bits, and thank you. 
DISCOUNTS 
For discounts in cash or extra bulbs, see last page. 
To date no one has complained of R.G. generosity, and as in the past it will reflect 
to you, the difference in overhead costs between just a price list and the expense of an 
illustrated catalog, which I should like to give you, and likely would if I had a 
mailing list of 10,000 or more, for you see, I like them too. 
But I fear a list that size would also rob your orders of my personal contact and 
I enjoy that too. So let’s just stay on a mutual basis for at least a while yet. 
Thank you. H. L. W.

The first figure in a number shows the size of blooms and the next two numbers 
show the color. When the last number is odd it means that there is a conspicuous 
marking on the bloom like a blotch or lines. In general use there are other odd numbers 
used aside from the two or three in the above list.
