divisions of all hybrids will be sent, but because of their

OFFICINALIS HYBRIDS. Advanced Seedlings (Auten) 
The development of a new variety is a slow process, 
usually requiring 12 years work before it can be introduced. 
Some fine new seedlings are carried for observation which 
are eventually not named, but they are decidedly worth 
while, and 8 of them are here offered at low prices so that 
many may enjoy these fine new colors. Do not be afraid 
to order them.
