CHAMPION SEEDLING BLOOMS 
Following seedling champions were not 
merely winners in their classes of certain 
types. They were champion seedlings, all 
types competing. Not many Prize Schedules 
make provision for this competition, it being 
most popular, apparently, in Ohio, Australia 
and New Zealand.

“Your catalog the best by a long shot and it certainly is a 
necessity to the glad fan.’ 2-7-40. J.H.O., Wellesley 
Hills, Mass. 
“Have again received your catalog. Find more wealth of 
information in it than in any others and thank you for sending 
it.’ 2-8-40. E. A. L., Spring Green, Wisc. 
“Well, you did it again, only better. 1 refer to your catalog. 
It arrived today. It’s just cram full of most everything a 
‘gladman’ wants.”’ 2-1-40. O. P. S., Athens, Mich. 
“As usual, your guide book is tops. Informative and com- 
prehensive in its special features, highly selective in its listing 
of varieties, discerning in its descriptions and comments, 
it is a valuable reference book as well as a catalog.’’ 4-5-40. 
Prof. C. F. K., Detroit, Mich. 
“I rec’d your catalog and have been going through it care- 
fully and one thing struck me quite forcefully. That was 
that the varieties you offer today are the future prizewinners 
of tomorrow. Many times I pick up old catalogs and back 
issues of the N. E. G. S. yearbooks, when I read the claim of 
some grower about some new variety to see how his predic- 
tions of former years have turned out. And I think a lot of 
other people are doing the same thing and I can imagine them 
saying, Well, Evans ranks about tops in his predictions. For, 
after all, what a man claims about a variety today has to 
be judged by what he had claimed in the past.”’ 2-7-40. 
J. E. D., Freehold, N. J.
