To Our Customers...and Friends... 
And we do mean FRIENDS. We like to feel that every person 
who has purchased bulbs from us for the past five years, is indeed 
a friend. And the only way to make friends is to fill all orders 
with high quality bulbs, and in giving generous overcount, true 
to standard bulb sizes, speedy service, and a cheerful adjustment, 
should there be any cause making this nece:sary. If we do not 
at all times please you, please tell us . . . we will make every 
effort to keep our customers satisfied. 
Due to dry weather early in the season, and an early frost this 
fall, our growing season was shorter than usual. Therefore, in 
some varieties there will be a scarcity of large bulbs. So, we 
urge you to order early to avoid disappointment later in the 
season. 
We appreciate the confidence our customers have shown in us and 
will do everything possible to make you keep this confidence in us. 
Our sincere thanks for making our 1951 gladiolus season one of 
the best, both for bulbs and for cut-flowers. 
Wishing all of our customers a very successful gladiolus season 
for 1952.
