THE DAFFODILS 
I wandered lonely as a cloud 
That floats on high o’er vales and hills. 
When all at once I saw a crowd, 
A host of golden daffodils. 
Beside the lake, beneath the trees. 
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. 
Continuous as the stars that shine 
And twinkle on the milky way. 
They stretched in never ending line 
Along the margin of a bay; 
Ten thousand saw I at a glance, 
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. 
The waves beside them danced, but they 
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee: 
A poet could not but be gay 
In such jocund company! 
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought 
V/hat wealth to me the show had brought. 
For oft, when on my couch I lie 
In vacant or in pensive mood. 
They flash upon that inward eye 
Which is the bliss of solitude; 
And then my heart with pleasure fills. 
And dances with the daffodils. 
—W. Wordsworth. 
Greetings 
Another year has passed since we have had a chance to send onr personal 
greeting’s to the many friends who have helped make last season a pleasant one. 
We do appreciate the orders which you customers sent us in 1938. It has helped 
materially in increasing our business. 
The many fine letters received from you have been a continued source of 
pleasure. I assure you we shall continue to do our very best to see that you 
always get “value received”, and something extra for good luck. 
An ai)ology—Due to a serious illness, the “boss” was unable to take care of 
the numerous details connected with grading, packing, shipping and planting 
0])erations last fall. This work was taken over by Mrs. Kanouse and she did a 
very good job of it. As we conduct our business as a family enterprise, each one 
having Ids special line of work, this meant that she was forced to take over the 
entire management. If your order for bulbs did not arrive on the date si)ecified, 
it Avas because it Avas not possible on account of the rush of orders, and AAm try 
to make it a ])ractice to fill all orders as received. We ho])e you AAmre not incon¬ 
venienced too much if your order Avas delayed. This year we hope our health Avill 
be such that Ave can be on the job again. 
It is our AAdsh that 1939 Avill be the healthiest, happiest year you have ever 
expel ienced and that your floAA'Ors aaTU be the best you ever greAAV 
A. N. and MAUDE S. KANOUSE, 
CAROLE and KATHRYN.
