Dear Customer: 
Owing to adverse weather conditions last summer, I missed 
a number of the regular visitors at the garden. Then, the flor¬ 
ists whom I supply during the season made such heavy demands on 
my garden that I was short of blooms all season. 
Our harvest of bulbs was exceptional. The bulbs here at 
Collinsville and those from my planting in V/est Avon were better 
than ever. 
Now, I have all of them cleaned and graded, my summer orders 
all packed, and I still have plenty to supply my old customers. 
So if you are planning a garden it would be wise to make your sel¬ 
ection now, send it to me and I will deliver in the usual way. 
Thanks for all past favors.
