What SIZE Do You Want to Buy?

Please R ead Before Ordering
We are offering only large size bulbs at retail this year, but are offering the majority 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, and size, at wholesale 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 pro¬ duce 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 larger 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.
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 our price list.
SUBSTITUTION
If any varieties are out of stock when your order is received. 1 will substitute a similar or more expensive variety. If this is not satisfac tory, 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.
