Foreword 
In presenting my 1951 Price List to you I hope to 
describe these Gladiolus to you in the same manner 
that we would discuss them if we were in the patch 
talking over the good and bad points of each variety. 
Some may do better in your soil and climate than they 
do for me, and again it may be reversed. But regard- 
less you will get it straight on the variety the way 
they performed for me. If they are good I want you 
to have them, if not I don’t want anyone to purchase 
even a bulb of anything I would not grow myself. So 
I will not brag up a variety to get rid of it. The easier 
way is throw it in the creek. 
I do have many varieties that I am not listing, the 
stock is too small and must increase before offering 
for sale. I also have Seedlings of my own crosses if 
they continue to do well I will be offering some day 
for your approval. 
I want to Thank customers that have bought of me in 
the past and I hope they will “Come Again” and to 
those who have not purchased I am asking you to 
try an order and see if you are not used more th}.n, 
right. Wish everyone a successful season in 1951. 
Terms 
I trust that your order will not be under $2.00 after 
packing and mailing costs are deducted there is little 
profit in smaller orders. If your order is under $2.00: 
we must ask for the postage. Orders over $2.00 will 
be sent prepaid except where bulbs are bought whole- 
sale the carrying charges are on the buyer. 
Orders will be acknowledged when received and ship- 
ment made when weather permits. I shall fill orders 
in rotation and they will be filled by myself and you 
can be assured of getting good bulbs or your money 
back. All bulbs are offered subject to prior sale. 
Should the bulbs not suit you when you receive them 
let me know the trouble at once, then I shall make it 
right or return your money and you return the bulbs. 
But remember I can do nothing after the bulbs are 
planted, as I cannot guarantee the outcome after they 
are once in the ground. 
You will receive plenty of extras and over count, and 
we wish you would state if another size would be 
accepted if we were out of the size you order, it would 
save writing you.
