OUR 1939 INTRODUCTIONS i 
After (15) fifteen years of growing miniature seed¬ 
lings by the thousands, we to date are introducing our 
third and fourth miniature. We are proud to offer you 
what we believe are two miniatures which will meet v/ith 
the approval of our many friends. Our seedlings are not 
released the first or second year but we grow them under .! 
field culture for four years before releasing them and 
then for May delivery only the first year. 
FAIRY LOVELINESS ; 
A FD miniature which is a seedling of FAIRY, and has 
all of the outstanding qualities of its parent, plus depth. ! 
It is of the same size and formation but much deeper and 
more compact. Color Baby pink with a bright creamy 
center, the center about the size of a half dollar. Open 
grower and very prolific bloomer early and has never 
showed an open center. Roots May delivery $5.00. Plants 
$1.50, 3 for $3.50. 
RED DEATON 
A FD. miniature of bright red, with a high tight center, 
long stems, and a very good keeper after cut. This red 
with a good white makes a combination vase or basket 
that will be haid to beat in the shew room. Try it and if 
we did not give you a good tip tell us and we will refund 1 
the purchase price. This guarantee is good with Fairy 
Loveliness also. Roots May delivery $3.00 Plants $1.00, 
three for <$2.50.
