GREETINGS FOR 1942 
As it is impossible for me to write each one of my customers and 
express my appreciation for the confidence they have placed in me, | am 
taking this opportunity to thank you all, and wish you a greater degree 
of success and happiness for each succeeding year. You know I believe 
a garden to be one of the real requisites to true satisfaction and happi- 
ness. It is not just imagination that the vegetables and fruits you are 
able to bring from your own garden are a little sweeter and a little better 
than those that you usually buy. The flowers you have actually planted 
and tended yourself will brighten the home a little more and bring 
greater joy to you and your friends. 
“Say it with flowers” is a florists’ slogan, 
Flowers, of course, are friendship’s token, 
But what does it really mean to you? 
Though the giver spends, and lavish, too, 
If he knows not what the toil has been 
Or never has climbed from an Alpine glen, 
To the mountains high through the mists and snow 
To gather the edeiweiss where they grow. 
Ah—such are the flowers we all do crave, 
More for the present than for our grave, 
And we see their beauty more and more 
For the giver's hands so scarred and sore. 
INTRODUCTION FOR 1942 
BosTONIAN (Cham.) 
Parentage—( Wurtembergia x Salbach Orchid x J. S. Bach.) This is 
the seedling S-35/16+7A that won the special seedling award and vote of 
commendation at the N. E. G. S. Boston 1941. We also hold a certificate 
of commendation won at the N. E. G. S. 1939. Also won award of hon- 
orable mention this year at the Empire State Seeding Show. Decorative 
red with 12 to 16 four-inch florets open on 20 to 23 bud spike. Blooms 
have about perfect placement and the extra tall spikes never crook. 
We did not intend to introduce it this year as stock is still very limited, 
but have concluded to share this glad with a few of the fans. L., M. and 
Jumbo bulbs, $5.00 each. No Blts. or Small bulbs this year. No dis- 
counts.
