Highly Commended Glads 
Cc. C. VAN VOORHIS 
Kingston New Jersey 
Deer Glad Fanciers: 
| have recently retired from my position as Research Associate in Princeton 
- University and except for a little consultant work, | am devoting all my time to my 
Gladiolus. 
My 1955 Introductions as well as those of the preceding three vears have all 
peen highly commended by one or more Gladiolus Experts and these varieties won 
for me more than sixty Blue Ribbons in 1954. | have introduced quite a few medium 
(3xx) Glads because | believe this size will become much more popular in the next 
few years. They are ideal for the average garden and home because they do not 
require the watering, fertilizing and staking that the large ones do to grow nice spikes 
end they are not so difficult to arrange in the home. Also the medium classes now 
- offer the easiest chances of winning Show Ribbons. 
It is my general policy to introduce new varieties at moderate prices and to 
keep these prices for two years. My Glads are State Inspected and are guaranteed 
tc be healthy and true to name. 
Since | do not put out an expensive Catalog | think | can give vou better 
bulb values
