Greetings 
Greetings to you as a Friend and as a Customer. This is my opportunity 
to thank you (each of you) for your good orders of last season and I here 
and now take pleasure in doing so. I hope the pleasure is not all mine. 
You make our business possible and I in turn try to see that your orders 
are filled in such a manner that you are glad to come again the next 
season. We try very hard to please new customers and doubly hard to 
please the old ones. Our business is built on repeat orders. We strive to 
give quality, service, ““value received” and satisfaction. Your satisfac- 
tion is our pleasure. 
With business now generally on the up we hope that each of you 
get your share, with our Best Wishes for your Health and Happiness.

FOREWORD 
Our growing season has not been the most favorable this season but because of our 
excellent soil (having plowed under a heavy crop of soy beans last Fall) and because 
of complete irrigation for our entire garden we are harvesting the finest crop of bulbs 
we have ever grown. The bulbs are large high crowned and clean. It is this class of 
stock with which we will fill your orders so long as our own stock is available. 
All of our stock is free of thrip and disease and so certified by the Chief Plant 
Inspector of the State of Illinois. 
We wish to especially call to your attention our introduction Master Myron. 
This variety was introduced last Fall and we have dozens of letters spontaneously 
written praising the merits of this new and outstanding variety. I can truthfully say 
that to the best of our knowledge it has been an outstanding success wherever grown. 
Copies of a number of these letters appear in this catalog. If you are adding a new 
variety this season do not overlook Master Myron. 
Please note our Prepaid List for small quantities and rare varieties, and Wholesale 
List for quantities of the same quality at lower prices. 
MONEY SAVING COUPONS on the back cover of this Catalog. Please do not 
overlook. 
Lastly we offer: Value Received—Quality—Service—Satisfaction.

NOTE—To those sending orders from September list—TIn filling these orders we will 
take into consideration the value of our “‘Money Saving Coupons”’ so that early 
buyers will get full value received.
