Glad greetings to our Glad friends and customers. 
As we prepare this, our fifth annual catalogue, we do so with the 
thought in mind that we must serve and satisfy our customers if we 
are to prosper. We appreciate your former business and friendly in¬ 
terest. We shall again trj^ to offer such varieties and service as will 
meet with your approval. 
We do not olTer a complete list from that of recent introductions. 
We prefer to wait and see which ones make the grade in the follow¬ 
ing years. We keep some of the old tried and standard varieties which 
have really not been surpassed, but to keep our list from getting too 
large, which would confuse you in your selection, each year we drop 
several of the older varieties which have gradually been replaced by 
newer and better sorts. This year we add the following to our list: 
Beowulf, Bonneville, Champlain, Irak, May Davidson, Miss Alameda, 
Phyllis McQuiston, Rima, Smiling Maestro, Sonatine, and Vagabond 
Prince. 
The Shirley Temple bloom pictured on the front cover was grown 
here in our Nebraska sun. It was really very lovely and impressive. 
Some growers claim that Shirley is too erratic, not always dependable. 
But when She smiles for you, as She did for us this summer, we think 
you will agree that it is well worth the time and trouble to grow more 
of Shirley Temple. 
And so again we offer our list, without apologies, for your ap¬ 
proval. 
Sincerely, 
VERNE C. FUHLRODT.
