BUSINESS TERMS 
(Please read carefully) 
I take pleasure in presenting my 1951 Catalog for your approval and consideration 
in which is listed nearly 100 varieties of Gladiolus covering a wide range of colors and 
sizes. This listing doesn’t contain all the good glads of today, but it does contain a great 
many of the proven superior, older varieties, as well as a few of the good new 
introductors. 
Due to the costs involved I cannot accept orders of less than $2.50, which are post- 
paid in the U. S. A. I can ship any order immediately but prefer to hold Parcel Post 
orders to northern states until danger of freezing is over. 
I aim to send out only healthy bulbs, true to name, dusted for thrips, and will 
cheerfully refund the purchase price on any order found unsatisfactory on receipt, and 
promptly returned; but no guarantee of growth is implied in the sale (careless use of 
chemical dips and sprays make this mandatory) nor will I be responsible for the crop. 
All orders are placed with the above conditions, eccepted by the purchaser; and all or- 
ders are accepted subject to stock and subject to prior sale. No order accepted for 
smaller quantities of a variety and size than quoted in list. No bulblet orders accepted 
after Apr. 1. Orders in the amount of $5.00 or more accompanied by cash in full amount 
will entitle purchaser to select additional bulbs of their own choosing’ in the amount of 
10 per cent extra. This offer DOES NOT apply to collections or wholesale list. 
If you wish, enclose $1.00 with order, balance shipped C. O. D. Colorado customers 
—Please do NOT forget the little matter of 2 per cent sales tax.
