GLADIOLUS BULBS 
Loveland Glad Gardens, operated by Al Foster, is 
now a part of Kroh Bros. Nurseries. For the past 
three years Loveland Glad Gardens has supplied bulbs 
of choice varieties to many customers in this area and 
throughout the western plains region. Varieties listed 
will compare quite favorably with any listings in this 
region, and are carefully selected for their beauty, 
vigor, and dependable performance. Even though we 
feel that glads are lacking in ornamental value their 
beauty is not surpassed in home decorating and enjoy- 
ment as cut flowers. 
Glads are quite easily grown and are not exacting 
as to soil. For best results we suggest they be plant- 
ed in rows 18 to 24 inches apart with about 3 large 
bulbs or 5 to 6 medium bulbs per lineal foot. Of most 
importance is to get good varieties and young vigor- 
ous bulbs. 
We offer in this listing three sizes. The “large” 
and “medium”? will both bloom quite freely with aver- 
age care. <A large bulb should produce a little taller 
spike with from 2-4 more buds. While the medium size 
will give you more bulbs and spikes. The “small” size 
is listed for those that wish to secure a more econom- 
ical start particularly of the new varieties. The per- 
centage that bloom the first year will depend on the 
care they receive. 
PLEASE READ 
As Glad bulbs are uniform in size within any spe- 
cified grade; with postage being a minor factor; we 
offer this listing POST PAID on all mail orders of 
$3.50 or more. Smaller orders add 10% for packaging 
and postage. 
We 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 chem- 
ical dips and sprays make this mandatory), nor will 
we be responsible for the crop. 
The name following the variety name is that of 
the originator, followed by the year introduced.
