Preface 
May the year 1941 give you the time for relaxation at the end of the day, and the 
health to enjoy a garden, filled with flowers. 
“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 
ane yet | say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of 
these.“’ 
In this book, we are listing in a somewhat different manner in an effort to give a 
better mental picture of the different varieties. Many have not been classified in this 
manner, but will be as fast as we can get to them. We felt that it would be better to 
give you the advantage of the work thus far, rather than wait until the whole list is 
complete. 
Sincerely, O. P. STANCER
