DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF OUR OWN PAST ORIGINATIONS 
Every hybridist and introducer who 
iias placed on the market any varieties 
at ail has made a mistake on some var¬ 
iety at one time or another. Every 
variety cannot be a sellout giad like 
Picaray or some otriers. However for 
the number of originations we have 
placed on the market du-hig the past 
ten years we believe we have a much 
higher percentage of leaders than any 
other disseminator we know of. Out of 
twenty three varieties disseminated we 
are now finding that seventeen of these 
are making history in a big way. Per¬ 
haps not ail are creating the sensations 
thac expensive advertising will do for 
them but they are gradually placing 
themselves in that select list that one 
finds after a few years growing, as being 
the good ones that one wants more of. 
BLUE ADMIRAL, SMILING MAES¬ 
TRO, CANZONETTA and others are 
rapidly being adopted by the leading 
growers as their leaders and already 
after two years BEOWULP', LADY 
MARIE, PURE GOLD and ADIR¬ 
ONDACK are considered among the 
world’s best glads. Therefore, it is with 
pardonable pride that we place this list 
at the head of our assembly of special¬ 
ties. Your investment in these now 
will make real profits for you in the 
years to come.
