On the Saw Mill River Parkway 
GLADIOLUS 
There is nothing in the garden to equal the stalwart beauty of these colorful flower 
spikes. We offer extra fine varieties in an increased range of colors. Our bulbs are thrip-free 
and besides the regular large size bulbs we have the Jumbo—extra large—bulbs. Plant 
anytime from April to July for brilliant blooms this Summer until frost. 
PLANTING: 
Plant in full sun 3 to 6 inches deep, depending upon the size of bulb and texture of ‘soil. 
Rich, well-drained loam with applications of fertilizer will encourage a more showy display of 
blooms. Bulbs should be dug in the late Fall after a killing frost—first cutting off the tops close to 
the ground. Dry and shake off soil. Keep in a dry place until replanting the next Spring. 
NO. 1 BULBS 
Excellent bulbs of first grade size and quality. 
Many people might consider these Jumbo bulbs, 
they are so large and firm. 
Offered in the following varieties in groups 
of 25 BULBS —no less than 5 of any one 
variety—$2.25, 100 for $6.00, 1900 for $55.00,

WHY WE USE BOTANICAL NAMES 
The Latin or Botanical names are used instead of 
general popular names to identify our plants in 
order to assure your receiving the exact variety you 
want. For example, if someone should ask us for 
Snowball—what should we offer ? Viburnum tomen- 
tosum or Hydrangeas. ‘Snowball’ is a popular 
term for both. 
Furthermore, some plants have no popular names 
but only the horticultural. So it is for your protec- 
tion that we use horticultural names. Common 
names are shown, wherever possible, immediately 
following the Botanical name. 
A ROSEDALE 
GIFT CERTIFICATE 
The Answer To Your 
Gift Problems 
A plant or tree is always in good taste— 
always welcome—always suitable for any 
occasion—Birthdays, Easter, Christmas, 
House-warmings, Anniversaries or as a 
Memorial. 
Living plants are the gifts that grow in 
size and value as the years go on. There 
is no need to ponder WHAT to select; the 
recipient has the fun of selecting just 
what he wants here at the nurseries. 
OR, if you prefer, you may select the plant 
to be given and there need be no mention 
of a stipulated amount. The Rosedale 
Gift Certificate is so worded that either 
the particular plant OR the amount given 
may be specified. For a gift certificate, just 
SEND US: 1. The name and address of 
the person who is to receive 
the certificate. 
2. YOUR name and address. 
3. Your check or money order 
for the amount of the gift. 
WE WILL: 1. Send the Gift Certificate to 
the recipient at once (or to 
you, the donor, if you prefer). 
2. Send the Gift Certificate so 
as to arrive on a certain date 
if you will tell us the date. 
There is no fuss and bother with the Rose- 
dale Gift Certificate and more and more 
people are using this intriguing way of 
remembering—and being remembered.
