Gay, Glamorous, Glistening 
GLADIOLUS 
THE KING OF CUT FLOWERS, gladiolus will do well in all sections of the~country. Our 
bulbs are carefully grown, hand dug and cleaned to protect from bruising, and packaged 
with care. With a minimum of attention they will reward you with a beautiful display in 
your garden. 
CULTURE DIRECTIONS included with each order. 
MINIMUM ORDER. Unlike most growers, who refuse to fill orders for less than three 
dollars, we welcome orders of any size, large or small. Past customers know that we like to 
fill orders liberally. We shall continue this policy. Since parcel post rates are much higher 
proportionately on small orders, the larger the order the more liberally we can fill it. If 
your needs are few, may we suggest pooling your order with your neighbor for our mutual 
benefit. 
PREPAID PRICES. Unless otherwise stated, all prices in this catalog include prepaid 
delivery to your door. 
BULB SIZES. Large bulbs, designated by letter L, measure 144 inches or more in 
diameter. Medium size (M) are from % to 1%4 inches in diameter. Both sizes make fine 
flowers, with medium size often making spikes almost as large as those from larger bulbs. 
SECOND CHOICE. As the season goes on, some kinds will be sold out. Will help us if 
you list a second choice in case we cannot supply all items on your order. Any substitu- 
tion will be of equal or greater value. 
SHIPPING TIME. Except for an occasional delay of a few days to avoid risk of freezing 
during unusual cold spells, orders are shipped immediately. However, if you wish us to 
put up your order and hold until a date you specify, we are glad to do this. Glad bulbs can 
not be supplied after the first of June.
