BLUE ICE 
We exercise the greatest care to see that only first 
quality stock is shipped out, but in keeping with trade 
customs, we cannot guarantee the growth or produc- 
tiveness of the bulbs due to the varying soil and 
climatic conditions. 
Our 21 acres of Gladiolus are hand planted, hand 
harvested, hand cleaned and counted. They are not 
mutilated and bruised by machinery. This is your 
assurance of first quality bulbs. 
Prompt ordering is advisable, as there seems to be a 
strong demand for the many real good cut-flower 
varieties that are listed here in our catalog at such 
reasonable prices. 
READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING 
TERMS: CASH WITH ORDER or 50% down, balance at 
time of delivery. Bulbs may be held in storage here 
until April 15th. 
ORDER CHANGES: It sometimes happens that we are 
out of the exact size you order but have other sizes in 
the same variety. Please state whether you will permit 
us to send another size or variety if out of what you 
order. You will always receive liberal value for any 
changes. Many of our customers are delighted with the 
extras in the form of overcount and newer kinds that we 
include for trial; and if you send us the names and 
addresses of friends that grow 500 or more Glads—well, 
we just try to outdo ourselves in giving extras. 
In case your order consists entirely of these SPECIAL 
OFFERS—we will prepay ALL the charges via Parcel 
Post if you can await a safe shipping date. Orders con- 
sisting of Special Offers and Standard Varieties; we will 
put in enough extras to more than offset the part that 
would have been prepaid.
