GLADIOLUS BULBS 
Because we believe in and practice specialization, we have the 
greatest respect and deepest admiration for fellow specialists in 
other fields of horticulture and floriculture. 
It has long been our good fortune to be friends and neighbors to 
one of the leading gladiolus specialists in the country, Alfred 
Moses in nearby Lima, N. Y. What could be more natural then, 
than for us to arrange with Al to share with you, his specialty 
along with ours? That explains the appearance this year of these 
exciting glad offers in The Berry Patch pamphlet. 
In each of the selections below, all of the bulbs are the large size, 
114 inches in diameter, and each will produce blossoms this year. 
Most of the blooms will be of prize winning caliber if you wish 
to give them extra attention and if flower shows are to your 
liking. In any event, the selections that Al has made up for us 
to offer you, are designed from his experienced belief, to give the 
most effortless joy to the amateur gardener who is trying glads 
for the first time. If you are an old hand at glads, you cannot 
help but recognize the familiar and best loved varieties of glad 
growers the country over in our Berry Patch Special Selection. 
If you have never tried glads before, you have nothing to lose in 
any of the offerings we list. You simply cannot be disappointed 
with any of them. They have been selected for YOU by an expert 
specialist. Be sure to include some glads in your berry plant 
order this year. 
(These large size bulbs may be planted three or four to the foot 
in the garden row.)
