Welcome! This is the homepage of Cates Family Glads, a small gladiolus and cut-flower farm located in central Maine. Owned and operated by Paul and Elisabeth Cates and family, Cates Family Glads provides a large variety of wholesale cut-flowers for florists in the central and southern regions of Maine, as well as gladiolus bulbs for sale to the general public nationwide.

Our print catalogs for 2010 have been shipped. To get on our mailing list and receive a print copy of next year's (2011) catalog, please fill out and submit the form on this page. Prices for 2010 bulbs are available here.

For your convenience, for the first time we've included a printable PDF of this year's catalog for you to download. The link to the file is located at the top of the price list page.

As in previous years, our list of available varieties has expanded somewhat. Some varieties have been removed from this year's list, but they've been replaced by varieties that are either completely new to our listing or returning after a few years' absence. If you're interested in a variety which was listed in previous catalogs but is absent from our list this year, just ask! Chances are, we might have a bulb or two we can spare for you.

Please note that this year, we've divided our price list into heirloom and general listings. We hope to be able to continue bringing you healthy, beautiful heirloom varieties of gladiolus for years to come.
