My fields are rouged every ten days during the growing season and any 
plants that bloom wrong are promptly removed. Also, late in the season 
and before frost, all plants that do not show bloom or a stalk that has had 
bloom on it are also removed. This insures the vitality and blooming 
qualities of the crop. 
Grown ina rich loam and sandy soil, rotated for the best results to pro- 
duce bulbs of the best quality and vitality. 
We have ample rain fall, heavy dews and the moist winds from the ocean, 
we are assured of a good crop. With these and other natural advantages 
coupled with extensive experiments and careful study, enables me to 
produce bulbs of a superior quality. 
Every year I receive, unsolicited, many letters commenting on the quality 
of the bulbs, care of packing and promptness. Here are a few: 
You will be pleased to know that we had the greatest mass of blooms from 
your bulbs that I have ever seen. I believe that this part of our Nursery 
attracted more attention than any other planting. 
We appreciate your quality and service and you will hear from us again 
next year. 
I ordered Canna Bulbs from you on the 25th, the bulbs were received here 
on the 81st. That’s good service and the bulbs were fine, attached is an- 
other order and we will use more during the season. 
Canna Bulbs received this morning and are very fine, thanks for prompt 
shipment. Attached is another order, this will probably be all that we
