INTRODUCTION TO THE 1932 ISSUE 
F OR your new catalogue we have described and grouped together a very reliable list of Narcissi. 
Our selection of varieties is based on the combined judgment of the foremost foreign critics, plus 
our own ideas of usefulness and beauty under American conditions. 
Our descriptions aim truthfully to convey our own impressions of the esthetic value of each 
variety in relation to its nearest competitor or parent. 
We believe that the new lower prices this year will stimulate the demand for hardy Narcissi. 
The public should be told that a hardy Narcissus “conies back” for several years, usually with more 
flowers than before. This point deserves more emphasis in sales literature. 
If you will consult us before April 1st about new photographs for your catalogue, we will gladly 
demonstrate our helpfulness. 
The largest stocks of hardy Narcissi in the United States are yours to command.
