APPRECIATION 
We wish to thank all our customers, for their past patronage, which 
we appreciate very deeply, and we trust we will receive as much as pos- 
sible of your future patronage, which we will try to merit by our mer- 
chandise and service. With the exception of a late spring, and some cool- 
ness in the summer, we have experienced a very good growing season, 
with plenty of moisture, our soil conditions were largely well drained 
sandy soils, and our crop was planted on new soil, our stock is young and vigorous, 
and we have tried to keep true to label and free of disease, and trust we can satisfy, 
all customers, should there be any error please let us know and same will be cor- 
rected. 


NEW VARIETIES 
We have added many new varieties, but as many of you know, it takes some 
time to properly determine the merits of a new variety, and on the other hand, a 
variety that does well in one location, may not do so well in another. (U1 NO Pete 
Sport of Picardy, I feel sure will be an outstanding commercial with all the fine quali- 
ties of Picardy, but with an entirely different color. 
We have selected several more sports of Picardy the past season, all are differ- 
ent from those already under label, one of these, if it will reproduce the same color 
it had, last summer, will prove the most outstanding color of a Picardy bloom I have 
ever seen, much more intense coloring than Picardy. 
AMERICAN COMMANDER: What I have observed of this variety, the past 
season, I predict this variety, is going places,.-commercially—from my own obser- 
vations, from wholesale commission florists in New York and elsewhere from Florida 
cut flower growers, in fact all indications are that this will be one of the fast selling 
higher priced items, as a cut flower in the near future, as it is today. Giant flow- 
ered glads are more in evidence, among some of the latest varieties. Mrs. Gannett, 
is one of this mammoth flowered group, this has proven to be a good grower and 
propagator, Miss Alameda, has been equal to Picardy for us the past season, and 
is an exceptional commercial cut flower variety; Charmaine (New) has all the in- 
dications of a fine commercial, it grows medium tall, is a good propagator, and pro- 
duces fine heavy spikes of a deep rose color, a color not too common in good var- 
ieties. King Midas, has been grown by us for two seasons and we like it very 
much, it’ is a very rich clear yellow, and produces long spikes, that open from 8- 
10 or more blooms, perhaps this is the best yellow we have grown in the past few 
years. 
New glads of recent introduction are described on opposite page.
