OUR BEST OFFER 
Ill tliis catalog' are listed many outstanding collec¬ 
tion bargaiihs—fine named varieties for low cost. We 
have still another treat for onr customers. Each year 
we make hundreds of hand-crossed pollenizations. 
selecting both ])oll('n and seed parents from among 
the finest varieties in onr gardens. These hundreds 
,of crosses result in thousands of seeds which are 
grown in our exjierinu'utal fields. A])])roximately one 
s(>(‘d!ing in every lot of one thousand proves so dis¬ 
tinctive. so meritorious, so outstanding, and so dif¬ 
ferent from any other variety in commerce that it is 
given a name and introduced. Pearl Lustre and 
Michelangelo are tyjiical examiiles of these high- 
class creations. 
“What about the other 999?” you ask. One-fourth 
of them are A-1 Tris, being very beautiful, distinctive 
and colorful. The reason they are not introduced 
under variety names is because they resemble new 
high-priced novelties already on the market. Tt is our 
custom to idace new varieties in commerce only Avhen 
they excel to a marked degree and differ materially 
from any sort hitherto available. 
At blooming time, we go through our seedling fields 
and carefully mark the best 25 per cent. These A-1 
seedlings are as large, tail-stalked, floriferous, vigor¬ 
ous. colorful, fragrant, and attractive as named vari¬ 
eties now selling from 50c to $10. This year we offer 
you the bargain of bargains: 
5 Different A-1 Seedlings in assorted colors for $1 
30 Different A-1 Seedlings in assorted colors for $5
