UNDERD  GLADIOLI  are  now  so  well  known 
and  are  in  such  great  demand  that  you  as  a 
dealer  cannot  afford  not  to  catalog  at  least  a short 
list  of  them  for  the  coming  year.  Heretofore  there 
has  not  been  a sufficient  supply  to  afford  seedsmen 
a share  in  their  great  sale.  I offer  you  a chance  this 
year  for  the  first  time  to  catalog  a select  collection 
of  very  choice  varieties  listed  on  the  following  pages. 
All  authorities  are  agreed  that  my  new  strains  repre- 
sent by  far  the  greatest  improvement  in  Gladioli  today 
and  you  will  miss  many  of  your  best  customers  if 
you  let  them  go  elsewhere  for  their  bulbs. 

If  you  wish  a copy  of  our  retail  catalog  (which  will  be 
mailed  about  December  1st),  send  your  full  address,  unless 
your  name  is  already  on  our  mailing  list. 

For  terms,  etc.,  see  last  inside  cover  page.
