Dear Sir: 
We have just put in the mails copies of the 1937 Supplement to our 
Electro Catalog. If your copy has not reached you, drop us a line 
and we will forward you one at once. This 1937 Supplement includes 
all electros and nlckeltypes which we have added to our collection 
since the issuance of our 1936 Supplement. Just a word to remind 
you to keep all issues of these Electro Catalogs, as we do not Include 
old cuts in new issues. 
About two weeks ago we mailed you a copy of our 1937-1938 Novelty and 
General Trade List for this season. We trust that you have had an op¬ 
portunity to look it over rather carefully by now. There are a few 
items in this list that I would like to call your special attention 
to at this time. 
Cuphea Firefly, on page 9, is an outstanding new annual border or edg¬ 
ing plant which flowers readily in from 12 to 14 weeks from seed and 
blooms freely throughout the summer season. Be very sure you do not 
overlook this fine variety when preparing the novelty section of your 
1938 catalog. 
We cannot too highly recommend the Dwarf Cup Flower, Nierembergia Hip- 
pomanica. This is one of those rare blue flowering plants which 
thrives in extreme heat, likes full sun, and requires no special care. 
Neat and compact in habit, it flowers in about 15 weeks after the seed 
is sown and blooms continuously throughout the summer until the heavy 
frosts of autumn. It is Indeed among the finest new flower introduc¬ 
tions. See page 27 for a colored illustration and full description. 
Puya Alpestris (Green Irish Yucca) listed on page 15, is of very time¬ 
ly interest this season since it was granted an Award of Merit by the 
Royal Horticultural Society last spring and appeared in a full page 
colored illustration in the August 14 issue of 
the Illustrated London News. We suggest that our 
British customers refer to this publication for 
an accurate color reproduction of this Interesting 
new plant subject. While it is not a plant of 
which seed will be used for general distribution.
