GLADHAVEN GARDENS 
George G. Fowler, Prop. 
North Main Street West Franklin, N. H. 
BEST WISHES for a HAPPY NEW YEAR to our old friends and customers; thank you for your past patronage. We 
do not expect to issue another price list as we intend to retire from active business. We have put many of our named 
varieties into our GLADHAVEN ASSORTMENT, giving BIG value for your money. If any of our old customers feel that 
they have been unfairly treated by us in the past, and will write and explain their case, we will try and make satisfactory 
adjustment. Hope to receive enough orders this spring to substantially reduce our stock of bulbs. 
Thank you for the many fine letters we have received from you in the past few years. 
Gratefully yours, 
MR. and MRS. GEORGE G. FOWLER 
digiay, ,) UPA P. S. We celebrated our 58th Anniversary the 4th.

(a) Any Federal or State Tax that may be imposed on sales. 
(b) Stock on hand when order is received. 
(c) No bulbs mailed C. O. D. without at least a 25% deposit with order. 
All bulbs are mailed postpaid to 4th Postal Zone.

HOW TO REMIT 
Money Orders and Checks are the best and safest. 
1, 2 and 3c stamps for small amounts, cannot use Air Mail stamps. 
IT IS NOT SAFE TO SEND LOOSE CASH. 
IMPORTANT 
ORDER EARLY and state on the order sheet when you want the bulbs shipped. We acknowledge the order by post card so you 
may know your order has been received by us. Indicate on the Order Sheet if we may or may not substitute if out of variety 
ordered. Print your name and address plainly and please do not use the Price List for an Order Sheet as it is very confusing. 
If Iam out of size ordered will send the next nearest size to value of order or more. You can expect extras with your order 
depending upon the size of order. KEEP a copy of your order. We will do the best we can with orders asking us to “ship by 
return mail” depending on how cold the weather is when order is received. Without other instructions we will ship in time 
for proper planting in your locality. 
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL the day before you want to plant your bulbs before ordering. If you do not want to pay for bulbs in 
full when you order, a 25% deposit with order will hold bulbs until May 1, 1953. 
GUARANTEE 
We guarantee that the gladiolus bulbs you buy from us will be true to name, healthy and properly cured for planting spring 
of 1953. 
Cannot guarantee crop or anything depending on cultivation or weather. 
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE EVERY BULB TO BLOOM FOR YOU, as they will not always bloom for us. 
FULZ CULTURAL INSTRUCTIONS WITH EVERY ORDER 
ORDER EARLY and have bulbs reserved for mailing after danger of frost is over. Orders received after May 10 asking 
shipment by return mail are often hard to fill, a disappointment to you and ourselves. Without instructions will ship at proper 
planting time in your locality. 
A 25% deposit will hold orders till May 1st. Cannot ship to Canada.
