Terms 
I hope your order will not be for less than $2.00 
since after packaging and mailing costs are deducted 
there can be little profit realized on an order for less. 
Please do not split a listing. If a glad item is listed 
Asc 1OtelLoCeCOslotsOLUcie atonal C, 
Orders for $2.00 and over will be sent prepaid. 
Cash should accompany orders. Early orders will 
be acknowledged, but will not be shipped until 
above-freezing weather prevails. 
All orders will be filled by myself so that you may 
be. assured of being taken care of by one familiar 
with the wishes of the hobbyist and showman. This 
means you will receive good clean bulbs guaranteed 
true to name. This summer I was disturbed to find 
rogues in 2 or 3 varieties of glads. If any of you 
were victims of this unfortunate occurance I hope 
you will notify me so that I can either replace bulbs 
you got from me that were untrue, or else make some 
other form of adjustment. Just mention the variety 
and number of mixed bu’bs and leave the rest to me. 
Gladiolus bulbs will come to you treated with DDT 
dust and Spergon dust—your protection against 
thrips ‘and diseases. Your bulbs will be all ready to 
plant. 
If you are not satisfied with your bulbs voice your 
complaint at once, and I will correct whatever may 
be wrong. Once you have planted them, however, 
I cannot be responsible for the outcome. 
My stock has undergone both field and storage in- 
spections, and will come to you under an inspection 
certificate of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. 
Orders are accepted subject to prior sale. I will 
not substitute one variety for another unless you in- 
dicate this is satisfactory to you. I would appre- 
ciate, however, if you would state whether a differ- 
ent size of glad bulb is acceptable to you in the 
event I am out of the size you order. 
Extras and overcounts will be included in a‘! or- 
ders, the amount of such gratuities being in propor- 
tion to the size of orders. They will compare favor- 
ably with complicated discount inducements offered 
by some catalogers. 
Ten bulbs will be sold at 8 times the single rate. 
Glad varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are 
available in larger quantities and may be purchased 
at the 100 rate, which is 8 times the 10 price. Twen- 
ty-five bu'bs may be purchased at the hundred rate. 
The correspondence of catalogers, seedsmen, flor- 
ists, and others interested in larger quantities of 
glads and entitled to wholesale rates is invited, as 
stocks of many varieties are now sufficient to enable 
special quotations. 
The term “bulbs” as used above refers to gladiolus 
corms and dahlia tubers. 
Canadian customers must apply for import permit 
from the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, Can.
