IMPORTANT NOTICE 
pLEASE REMEMBER that hybrid seeds do not come 
true to type. For instance, I cannot guarantee that you 
will get white delphiniums from seeds that result by 
crossing together two white varieties; the only assur¬ 
ance I can give you is that the chances of obtaining 
white delphiniums from such a combination are much 
greater. Two lavender poppies, or two old rose colored 
hemerocallis when crossed together will never give you 
exclusively lavender poppies or old rose colored hemero¬ 
callis ; they merely accentuate the possibilities of getting 
such colors. Keep this in mind and you will not have so 
many disappointments. Much of the attraction of hy¬ 
brid seeds lies in the delightful surprises that will come 
to thrill you. If you knew beforehand exactly what you 
were going to obtain, much of the pleasure of gardening 
would be lost.
