FOREWORD 
In the presentation of this 1951 gladiolus list for your consideration, I wish 
to thank my many friends and customers. May I express my appreciation for the 
splendid business given me. 
A bit of personal history will give you the reason for the much reduced 
WHOLESALE PRICES on bulbs. In 1946 the death of my husband left me with 
four daughters of junior and senior high school ages. They are finding other oppor- 
tunities as they each finish their hich school courses; thus leaving me ito hire 
more outside help. Since I am a registered nurse in Wisconsin I believe I should 
again take advantage of my training and ask that some of you would grow the 
larger quantities of gladiolus bulbs. 
In the variety BURMA there is a slhghtly different red. More of the orange 
tone in it. Has some heavy ruffling and firm texture of the dark rose Burma, 
but will blend with a different number of colors of gladiolus. Anyone purchas- 
ing young stock will find perhaps one-fifth have that scarlet cast. Growers and 
florists alike are looking for a ruffled, medium red This one has all characteristics 
of broad floret, medium-tall stem, 4 to 5 open, ruffling to be found in BURMA.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING BULBS 
All retail orders for $2.00 or more ‘prepaid. Prices in this list are net. All orders 
must be accompanied in full, or 25% may be sent to hold the order and the bal- 
ance before shipment. All stock is guaranteed true to name, disease-free, and 
thrip-free. All stock is offered subject to prior sale. 
Five bulbs will be sold at % price of ten, but no single item will be accepted 
for less than 20c unless quoted. If no 10 price is stated, it may be found by mul- 
tiplying the price of a single item by eight. I make it a business practice to add 
a few of the new varieties to your order. If any bulbs are found unsatisfactory 
upon receipt, and promptly returned, the purchase price will cheerfully be re- 
funded. No guarantee of growth is implied in the sale. 
Flowers and bulbs are inspected by Wis. Dept. of Agri. Inspection No. 3037.
