A FREE GIFT FOR YOU 
Many of our customers are delighted with the extras in the 
form of over-count and newer kinds that we include for 
trial; and if you send us the names and addresses of friends 
that grow 500 or more Glads — well, we just try to outdo 
ourselves in giving extras. 
SHIPMENT 
All orders are sold with the understanding that the ship- 
ping charges will be paid by the customer. That means 
F.O.B. Portland, Oregon, except pool car shipments which 
are prepaid to Chicago, Ill., or Trenton, N.J. 
A service charge of 35 cents will be charged on all or- 
ders of less than $3.00, as they cannot be filled and 
shipped at a profit. 
Orders of $10.00 or more may be sent any time in 
U.S.A. via Railway Express. Those held for Spring delivery 
will be shipped as weather permits. Local and Pacific 
Coast orders may be shipped at any time. 
We advise Railway Express shipment rather than freight 
as congested conditions sometimes cause long delays. 
Auto freight has proven very satisfactory for Pacific Coast 
and Texas orders of 100 Ibs. or more. 
PARCEL POST SHIPMENTS 
Parcel Post is not insured against freezing, so should you 
wish your order sent in this manner (much cheaper than 
express on orders of 12 lbs. or less) you had better let us 
keep it until danger of freezing is past — usually March 
15th. We will advance the postage and notify you of 
the amount. 
This is a portion of our 60 ft. by 16 ft. 
exhibit at the Western International 
Gladiolus Society Show at Yakima, 
Washington, last summer, which won 
the coveted sweepstakes trophy illus- 
trated on the mailing cover. PRIZE- 
WINNING GLADS are the only ones 
that can win this trophy and we make 
every effort to produce them.

PLEASE NOTICE 
Due to the fact our mailing list has grown so large in the 
past 5 years, beginning next season you will not receive our 
illustrated list unless we have had an order from you, or a 
postcard stating you are still interested in our Gladiolus. 
Of course, the best way to be sure of receiving our list is 
to send us an order now. 
Hand Planted and Harvested 
We exercise the greatest care to see that only first quality 
stock is shipped out; but in keeping with trade customs, 
we cannot guarantee the growth or productiveness of the 
bulbs due to the varying soil and climatic conditions. 
Our 25 acres of Gladiolus are hand planted, hand har- 
vested, hand cleaned and counted. They are not mutilated 
and bruised by machinery. This is your assurance of first 
quality bulbs. 
Prompt ordering is advisable, as there seems to be a 
strong demand for the many real good cut-flower varieties 
that are listed here in our catalog at such reasonable prices.
