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.

you list a second choice in case we cannot supply all items on your order. Any substitu-
