MADE GLAD FANS 
at the Central International Glad Show held in Lansing, Michigan and at 
the Ohio Glad Show at Higbea's in Cleveland last August. Those of you who 
attended those shows will recognize the motif on our cover which identifies 
us with that display described by the Florist's Review as "spectacular." 
This was the first year Romacres «had ever exhibited at any show. It 
seemed the wholesale cut flower business always took a wild spurt at show 
time and "show" glads were delivered to CASH customers. Now we have more 
help, so look us up at the shows next summer. 
With Romacres Superior Glad bulbs, "show" glads are juSt a matter of 
careful attention to planting guides and supplying plenty of water to the 
plants while they are forming spikes. We enclose the National Gladiolus 
Society Booklet on gladiolus culture with every order. 
We hope to meet you at the shows and see the spikes which won the 
blue ribbons for you. The thrill of the glad show will be doubled if you 
are exhibiting and more than tripled when you are the winner of the cov- 
eted ribbons.
