GEORGE T. WENTWORTH ! the three 
years since 
this picture was taken I have added some gray 
hairs (premature) and many new customers 
through the medium of our catalog. For these 
new friends I would like to state the platform on 
which I do business, obviously it must be a 
strong one. 
I endeavor to supply only quality bulbs from a 
select list of the best new and popular varieties. 
Many customers have ordered year after year, 
which must be evidence of satisfactory service. 


MADRID was again an outstanding and beautiful variety in our Gardens. The true red 
florets are ruffled and fluted, with at least 8 open at one time, on a sturdy 
straight spike. A few spikes of Madrid used alone make a complete and lovely arrange- 
ment. We have had some gratifying reports from customers on this variety. 
MARGARET BEATON is rightly proving a most popular variety. It possesses quali- 
ties of vigor and beauty to a great degree. The vermilion- 
red feather in the throat sets it apart from other white varieties. It has already proven 
itself a winner. 


LAST YEAR there were many new and outstanding varieties blooming in our garden. 
It is with pleasure that we recall BINGO, as a striking cream sport of 
Picardy, CORAL GLOW with its distinctive glowing color, the rich color of PURPLE 
BEAUTY, RED LIGHTNING a vigorous scarlet with cream blotch, the many open, light 
rose pink SOUTHPORT. Introductions in the Small Decorative Class have been rather 
limited and those offered by Professor Kuhn are real additions. We liked the combination 
of Orange Butterfly, White Butterfly and Nadia arranged together for a bouquet.
