To Our Customers and Friends: 
Once again it is a pleasure to present our annual catalog, 
which for 1951 again lists several hundred varieties of gladiolus, 
including new and recent introductions, standard favorities, mi- 
niatures and varieties of foreign origin. 
We sincerely believe you will find our stock of bulbs to be 
of SUPERIOR QUALITY and that the range of sizes, colors and 
prices are tailor made to meet the competitive needs of commer- 
cial growers; the exacting requirements of hybridizers, fanciers 
and exhibitors, and give unbounded joy to the home gardener. 
We have enjoyed an exceptionally fine growing season 
which, together with painstaking cultural attention, has resulted 
in the splendid growth and harvest of clean, healthy bulbs. 
It is our hope that we may have the pleasure of serving 
you. In soliciting your patronage, we are confident that you will 
be more than satisfied by the personal attention given to the fill- 
ing of your order with clean, disease free and true to name bulbs 
which are truly of SUPERIOR QUALITY. 
Expressing sincere appreciation for your past patronage 
and wishing for you a banner glad year in 1951, Iam 
GLAD-ly yours, 
JAMES A. MILO
