GREETINGS 
If it were only possible to answer each of your letters personally we would 
certainly do it, but that is an impossibility. By the many fine comments we have 
received about the Key Chart system that we put in our catalogue, it must have been 
some help to you in selecting what you wished most. Letters have come in from 
coast to coast and from Mexico to well north in Canada asking us to continue it and 
to give the new varieties full Key Chart lists wherever possible. 
We are doing that and giving a complete chart to each variety that we feel the 
traits are more or less permanently set in. However, some of the newer ones we 
have not grown long enough to be accurate on, and even a few of the older varieties 
we have changed a little this season. 
We are making the key chart a part of the catalogue this year but if you 
would rather have a loose one just drop us a line and we will send you one as we 
have a few left from last year and the key chart is the same. 
We have had a fine growing season with plenty of moisture and have a fine 
crop of bulbs, and can only hope for our share of your business again this year. 
Our bulbs are all planted by hand, dug by hand, cleaned by hand, and graded by 
hand to insure you getting just as nice a bulb as can be produced. No more bruising 
than is necessary. Every bulb is removed that does not look just right etc., all by 
hand, so that you receive only A-1 bulbs. Ask any of our customers, they can tell you.
