7 Frieudly Word 
from Alfred Moses 
We want to extend our sincere thanks to our thousands 
of customers all over the United States, Canada and to 
those in the far corners of the world, for a very successful 
season just passed. We trust you have derived as much 
pleasure from the bulbs as we have in supplying you. We 
have many new things to offer again this year and will 
appreciate your continued patronage. 
WHEN VISITING WESTERN NEW YORK 
You will be very welcome to see our planting and Show 
Gardens. Our residence, offices and warehouses are located 
in the village of Lima, but our farm of 151 acres where 30 
to 40 acres are given over to Glads each year together with 
the Show Garden, are located five miles out of town. 
Sincerely Yours, 
ALFRED L. MOSES 
Our garden alone covers about 2 acres and this season grew about 500 varieties of 
Gladiolus all under label. Many of the new ones came from Canada, Australia, New 
Zealand, Holland and scores from the U. S. A. It is our plan to have every variety proper- 
ly priced and tagged each summer, so you can select and order your bulbs while in bloom. 
As a self service, we will give you an order book to fill out on your trip through the 
garden. The trend is for self-service, no high pressure salesman to bother. Drop in and 
spend the day. We suggest you bring your camera, and take the lovely flower specimens on 
location. 
Our Dahlia planting will be adjoining our Glad Show Garden with about 100 selected varieties. 
Dahlias are usually better in September or October. The Glad Show Garden this year was at its peak 
the first week in September, but always from August Ist to October there is a mass of color that you 
shouldn’t miss.
