1953 - 1954 GLADIOLUS OFFERINGS

We take pleasure in presenting our 1953-1954 catalog for you approval and consid-
sration in which is listed nearly 100 varieties of Gladiolus covering a wide range of cclor
‘and sizes. Priced in various quantities to best fit your needs.

Loveland Glad Gardens, a division cf Kroh Nurseries, has supplied bulbs of choice varie-
‘ties to many satisfied customers in this area and throughout the country. Varieties listed
have been carefully selected for their beauty, vigor, and dependable performance. This list-
- ing does not contain all the good glads of today but it does contain the proven superior older
va fies as well as a few cf the best recent introductions.

y’Glads are quite easily grown and are not exacting as to soil. For best results we sug-
gest they be planted in rows 18 to 24 inches apart with about 3 large bulbs or 5 to 6 medium
pu bs per lineal foot. Of most importance is to get good varieties and young vigorous bulbs.

BUSINESS TERMS
(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)

We aim to send out only healthy bulbs, guaranteed true to name, dusted for thrip, and
will cheerfully refund the purchase price on any order found unsatisfactory upon receipt and
promptly returned; but no guarantee of growth is implied in the sale (careless use of chem-
| dips and sprays makes this) mandatory) nor will we be responsible for the crop. In no
case will we break units quoted. All orders of $3.50 or more are prepaid in the U. S. A.
Orders under $3.50 add 35c to cover packaging and postage. We will hold your order in
storage for shiborent prior to planting season unless requested to mail earlier.

EXTRAS: We give full count on bulbs and bulblets and to be absolutely sure, a few
more on larger quantities. In addition, we include some extras on every retail order, larg-
er orders, of course, receiving the larger percentage of bonus bulbs. But when we have
to ship C. O. D. it costs us extra to make out tags, etc. so you receive more extras on orders
ith remittance in full.
