The descriptions on varieties are as we see them in our fields I am not 
casting any reflections on no one if I condem a variety ,that dosen't 
mean ‘it wont do good for you. It is a known fact that some varieties 
will do better in some localities then in others,we try to grow variet- 
ies that have as wide a range in this respect as possible. 
I-don'tlist as many of thé new varieties as some catalogers da but we 
like to grow them a year or two if they are not good I do not want to 
list them. however we can not grow them all so there may be others 
just as good. | 
We are discarding many of the older sorts this year,and are not listed — 
it isen't that they were not good but we have to make room for the many 
new varieties and our own seedlings. As you thumb through this catalog 
you will notice we have added several new varieties to our list, we- 
have grown in our own field and are all very good. I highly recommend. 
them. We don't take in as many showes as maybe we should but,we do win 
our share of blue ribbons: in the few showes we do attend. 
BULB SIZES gladiolus bulbs are graded in 6 sizes no.1 13" or-over 
no.2 1= to 14 no.3 1 to 12 no.h 3/h to 1 no.5 § to 3/4 no.6 underg in. 
no.1&2 are large bulbs no.3& are medium bulbs no.5&6 are small bulbs 
we ship the larger size in each class as long as they last, if medium 
bulbs are ordered we ship size no.3 so if you get two sizes it means 
we have run out of the larger size. 
One question I would to clear up is so many folks visiting our fields 
have asked if we are connected with some nursery or bulb grower. I am 
happy to say that we are not connected with no other nursery or bulb 
grower. in no way. 
VISITORS are always welcom to our fields,to look over the many new 
varieties and seedlings we have on trial,and to aske questions,we 
are always racy and willing to help you in anyway wa~can. 
We are located just 3mi. South East of Bloomington on a good gravel 
road.
