Excerpt from 1926 Descriptive Catalog: Gladiolus Aristocrats I guarantee the prices in my list against drop. That is, if I lower any of my prices appreciably after you give your order I will give you enough extra to make up the difference. I have seen too many cases where people have bought bulbs at high prices in the Fall and then later could buy them from the same grower for 25 to 100% less. I know from actual experience that this leaves a bad feeling, a feeling that I don't want my customers to have. This applies more to new and high priced bulbs. Formerly you had to buy new varieties in the Fall and run the risk of a drop in price later or wait till Spring and run the chance of their being sold out. If you want to buy good new varieties, I should advise you not to wait too long as there is a big demand for the good ones. Now you can order early and feel confident that you are going to get your money's worth. If prices should go up as they some times do I will fill the orders I have on hand at the original prices.
