I wish to thank you for your fine orders of the past season. From 
your letters of appreciation and friendly interest, I feel that we have 
made much progress in our effort to build up a satisfied clientele. 
We have also tried to make progress in keeping our list of varie- 
ties up to date. This year we tried dozens of the newer introductions. 
From these we chose the ones which performed the best, are gaining 
in popularity, and which we can conscientiously recommend for you 
to try. In order to keep our list from getting too large we are forced 
to discontinue some of the older varieties which have been replaced 
by newer and better ones. In my opinion Myrna, Margaret Beaton, 
Coral Glow, Ivory Keys, Snow Princess, Beacon, Amrita, Takina, and 
Zuni are the most outstanding. 
Due to the many requests received concerning the care of bulbs 
and flowers. I am repeating the information given in last year’s cata- 
log on growing good glads. 
We, along with you, are very troubled when we think of the cha- 
otic state of World Affairs. Let us not become too despondent—there 
can still be much of joy and pleasure in our lives if we will but make 
it so. Let us carry on with courage and seek the things of true value. 
With our very best wishes for a successful season, 
Sincerely, 
VERNE C. FUHLRODT.
