In this catalog, we again take pride in offering the newest and best 
in bulbs, both from the standpoint of the varieties offered and in the 
selection of superior stocks. In a literal sense, we give you “Beauty 
from Bulbs” 1939. 
Great advancement has been made in the field of hybridization. 
Activities of garden clubs have developed a keener sense of apprecia¬ 
tion among their members of the finer things for the garden. Narcissi, 
Tulips, Lilies—yes, almost the entire list shows marvelous progress. 
An infinite number of new varieties, many of them superior in 
structure, form, color, size and adaptability await the enterprising 
gardener. 
We have always felt the responsibility of choosing the best, avoid¬ 
ing those varieties that lack merit, that might produce uncertain 
results, or show similarities already present in the newer kinds, and 
with this thought in mind certain varieties have been discarded, thus 
limiting the catalog to those only which have earned our supreme 
confidence.

the cream of the crop in each variety offered.
