PEGGY LOU 
Apricot Glow X Emily Aubrun 
(81 Days) ... Our first origination. Unquestionably 
the greatest show sensation of all time as well as 
leading commercial of today. It would take too much 
time and space to give all winnings for the past three 
years from coast to coast. You have all read of, heard 
of, or seen Peggy Lou at the shows. We are still the 
largest individual grower.

NOW FOR THE BIG NOISE 
The 1941 bonus extravaganza under the big tent. 
Old customers all know what this summed up to last 
season when we gave as bonus bulbs such headliners 
as Purple Classic and Fashion Plate, $5.00 value with 
every $5.00 purchase. Raising the ante this year. SO, 
get this straight. With each and every $5.00 retail 
order sent us direct from this list, we will give two 
No. 5 or 6 size bulbs of SIGNAL OHIO, and one 
No. 5 or 6 size bulb of FRANCES M. IRWIN. 
Catalogue value $6.00. This applies to all Wilson 
originations except Peggy Lou, Lavender Ruffles and 
Treasury Gold. This bonus is given with each $5.00 
purchase up to $50.00 per customer. In other words 
if you purchase $50.00 worth of bulbs, you get $60.00 
in bonus bulbs. PLAIN ENOUGH. . . . Furthermore 
a surprise goes with each bonus for good measure. No 
need to remind our old customers of our generous 
overcount and extras. They have learned our lan- 
guage. Easy for new customers to catch on. The 
largest bonus bulbs to the earliest orders.
