Until the war years we revised and improved our list 
of Gladiolus each year to include the best variety in its 
color class regardless of price. Subsequently, the price 
was reduced as quantities were available. Some varie- 
ties, as Picardy, never entirely lost their position as 
leaders for years. 
With labor available and flower shows scheduled 
again, we have resumed our policy to add, eliminate, and 
generally revise our list annually. 
We suggest that you select a few of the newer ones. 
Watch and compare them in your own garden, and know 
them next year at reduced prices. 
Due, no doubt, to scientific treatment of planting stock 
for years our Gladioli have always been free from thrip. 
As an added precaution and to be sure that bulbs sup- 
plied by us are absolutely free from this pest, we will 
also scientifically treat our bulbs again before shipment 
is made to our customers. 
Inasmuch as thrip lives in the soil, as well as on the 
bulbs in storage, through the winter, it is imperative 
that our bulbs be planted on soil where Gladioli were 
not grown last year and not close to other Gladioli from 
other sources. 
We guarantee our bulbs to be the largest size and well 
matured, which is absolutely essential for producing 
exhibition flowers.
