Greetings 
In this, my seventh annual catalog, I wish to express my sincere 
appreciation for your patronage. The road has been long and difficult, 
but with your help I have managed to keep going. Now, with a new 
bulb house, and other modern equipment, I feel that I can serve you 
even better than before. 
Again this season, as in the past, we have tried many of the newer 
introductions. Of those that I have in sufficient quantity to offer this 
season, I would like to recommend the following: Abe, Barcarole, Blue 
Beauty, Chief Multnomah, Peggy Lou, Rosa Van Lima, Vista Bonita, 
and Wings of Song. These are among the best of the fairly recent 
introductions. I do not offer a new variety until it has been tried sev- 
eral years, by others, as well as myself. Then, if it seems to be satis- 
factory, I stock it in sufficient quantity that I may offer it for sale. 
Of course I have had to discontinue some of the older varieties to 
make room for the new—for they are much like an old model car that 
is in fine condition—very serviceable, but not very popular. 
With my very best wishes for a successful season, 
Sincerely, 
VERNE C. FUHLRODT.
