foreword 
N O VARIETY ever introduced has been grown successfully by 
everyone who has tried it. One grower will handle with great 
success a certain variety while his neighbor can seem to do nothing 
with it. Different climatic and soil conditions and different cultural 
methods influence greatly the results. 
All of the varieties which we list in this booklet have not met 
with egual success by everyone who has grown them. Each has 
those who swear by it and many who swear at it. This is true of 
every variety in existence today. However, every variety listed 
here has been successfully grown by enough growers for us to 
feel justified in offering it to you. 
We cannot, of course, guarantee results, but we can and do 
guarantee that the stock you receive from us will be carefully 
selected, in first class condition, expertly packed and satisfactory 
in every way. Every cutting which leaves our greenhouses will 
be a good strong heel cutting. No top or leggy cuttings which 
are likely to produce poor flowers. No hard cuttings taken from 
the bases of the plants and which are slow and subject to disease. 
These cuttings are rooted cool and slow in clean, government in¬ 
spected sand. We positively guarantee to replace without hesita¬ 
tion any cuttings received from us which are not well-formed heel 
cuttings of good size, well-rooted and healthy.
