NEW VARIETIES * BETTER COLORS * LARGER SPIKES 
Here we offer you a wonderful list of Gladiolus (Glads for short). Many 
are new, all of them are good. Look them over carefully and select the 
varieties you like. Cut Glads when the lower flowers are opening and 
they will last for days, every bud opening. Grow plenty for yourself. 
Glad bulbs are ideal gifts for a relative or friend. We will ship direct to 
them, Postpaid, enclosing a gift card with your name. 
Because we take great care in selecting our Glads we sell them by the 
millions, sending them to every state. We offer 2 sizes of bulbs. The 
LARGE are 1% to 2 inches across (diameter) and the MEDIUM are 1 
to 1 inches across. All will bloom this summer, the larger bulbs pro- 
ducing bigger spikes. They are so easy to grow. Plant them 5 to 6 
inches deep and 6 inches apart. Make your first planting when you 
make your early garden. Then make several plantings, 2 weeks apart 
and you will have the lovely flowers for many weeks. Takes around 75 
days from planting to blooming. ALL GLADS ARE POSTPAID.
