McKIBBIN’S GLADIOLI

AGAIN WE GREET YOU!

^LjOTHING ever impresses me more as to the ra-
^ pidity of time’s flight than the succession of the
seasons of the “glad” year. It seems only yesterday
that we were naming and describing a number of our
seedlings for our 1929 list. Some were of the plain
petal type, other were ruffled, and some were of the
laciniated varieties. Most of these among several
others, not as yet named, were shown in the National
A. G. S. show held at Springfield, Ill., August, 1929.
These were entered in the seedling display, and won
second in this class. Also at the A. G. S. National
show held at Toledo, Ohio, August, 1928, my seed¬
lings won third prize in this class.

I have no fear of their reception with you after you
compare them with others. I would like to call your
attention to my special introductory offer on page 7
of some of these new ones.

In the firm belief that no other practical way has
been found to definitely decide a dividing line between
a “wholesale” and “retail” buyer. I have printed in
my list this year a price schedule which ranges from
one bulb to a thousand. I do this in the belief that
the quantity purchaser is entitled to better prices re¬
gardless of his status as a grower.

Visitors are always welcome any day of the week
at our gardens, and it will be a real pleasure to show
you most of the other better originations as well as

our own fine things. .

Sincerely yours,

GOSHEN, INDIANA

What SIZE Do You Want to Buy?

We are offering only large size bulbs at retail this
year, but are offering the nnjority of our varieties at
wholesale in all different sizes; those varieties offered
retail only, no small bulbs or bulblets will be sold.

We will sell 25 bulbs, one variety, any size, at whole¬
sale prices.

If you want to buy Gladioli bulbs to get the most
and best blooms which 95% of the people do who buy
in the small quantity, the large bulbs are the ones to
buy. It stands to reason that a full sized matured bulb
will produce a taller spike and larger bloom with many
more florets to the spike and also more spikes. Many
varieties produce from two to four spikes per bulb. The
medium size will produce a good spike and large bloom,
but not so many spikes, and a few more bulblets which
most people throw away.

Most of the small size will bloom, but the spike will
not be so tall nor so many florets to the spike and will
not bloom as early as the largpr bulbs, but you can grow
them to full size No. 1 bulbs the first year. So take
your choice and we will do our best to please you.

NOTICE

Please Read Before Ordering.

No retail order filled for less than $1.00 as all orders
for less than $1.00 are filled at a loss.

Where offered by the dozen, six may be ordered at
half the dozen price. Less than six at single rate, or as
otherwise stated in price list.

SUBSTITUTION

If any varieties are out of stock when your order
is received, I will substitute a. similar or more ex¬
pensive variety. If this is not satisfactory, please
advise when ordering.

Safe arrival of bulbs is guaranteed to any point
within the U. S. A. and Canada.

TERMS

Remittances must accompany all orders.

Send bank draft, express or postal money order,
or if more convenient for you, we will accept your
personal check.
