In presenting this Catalogue we wish to take this 
oppcrtunity to thank G6ur-many customers of the past 
for their orders, also those of you who-gave us orders 
last summer at blooming time. 
We also wish to invite every one of you to come 
and see our gardens in bloom this summer. 
We have tried to describe the glads in our Catalogue 
as though we were talking to you in our gardens. We 
hope we have described them so you can see them 
as We do. 
We have quite a few varieties not listed as we have 
a limited amount of them. If there are some varieties 
that you wish that we haven't listed, please write us. 
We are located in Kings, Illinois, on State Highway 
64-22 miles south of Rockford and 80 miles west of 
Chicago and 11 miles east of Oregon, Illinois. 
Notice 
We have recently purchased the entire bulb stock 
and equipment of Waukarusa Gardens owned by Mr. 
C. S. De Nier at Mt. Carroll, Illinois. His health 
does not permit him to go on with his gladiolus busi- 
ness. We are listing several varieties he has been 
growing that we have not tried, but we know they are 
good or he would have thrown them in the creek. 
Along with the bulb stock there are a great many 
seedlings, so with these and several thousand of our 
own hybridising efforts we should be able to select 
some to name and introduce before too long. 
Mixed Bulbs 
Here is your chance to save plenty! If you are one 
of those gardeners who love flowers but do not care 
to grow each variety separately, by name, you can get 
tremendcus value in these mixtures. Bulbs are first 
quality and are hand mixed to give splendid color com- 
binations. If you want lots for little money, the small 
bulbs offered will bloom this year. Blooms will be a 
little smaller but you will have a fine crop of large 
bulbs for next year. Lock for them listed alphabeti- 
cally in the wholesale price list.
