Growing in my garden are many of the new varieties originated 
by Dr. Stout, among them, Theron, Nada, \Yolof, Linda, Circe, 
Saturn, Majestic and Princess. Although I have grown these plants 
for a year, yet they are so tiny that I feel it unfair to my customers 
to allow them to go out from my garden. For this reason they are 
not listed in the catalogue this season.
