florets and better flowerhead. No stock for sale this 
year. A fine propagator but we wish to build up a 
stock. 
We may be compelled to substitute blts. for bulbs 
on the bonus to late orders with the equivalent in 
value. The larger bulbs to earliest orders in rotation. 
Important Notice. The bonus bulbs do not apply on 
orders for Peggy Lou or Lavender Ruffles or on 
quantities over the 12 at 10 rate for bulbs, or over the, 
at 10 rate for bulblets on any variety we list. Orders 
will be shipped in spring when weather permits unless 
otherwise specified. On retail express shipments if 
specified (Ship collect) for carriage, we will include 
extras over and above all to much more than recom- 
pence the customer. To new 1942 customers we again 
wish to remind you that our very generous extras and 
overcount will take your breath away, and we handle 
nothing but our own originations. 
As we were so busy exhibiting at the 1941 shows 
during August our time was very limited for pollen- 
izing; consequently, we made very few crosses and 
only those we felt should have real possibilities. We 
have a small amount of seed to spare over and above 
our own requirements and to avoid overselling will 
request inquiries for prices and amount on following 
crosses. Treasury Gold X Mrs. Richard McGovern; 
Purple Supreme X Sdlg. X-121, (Big ruffled plum self 
of excellent performance); High Finance X Gray 
Phantom; Sdig. B-1578 (Big exhibition yellow, 6 ft. 
tall) X King Midas and Edith Grace X Fashion Plate. 
The past summer we had thousands of sdlgs. to bloom 
their first, many of which were breathtaking, es- 
pecially in crosses with Treasury Gold; High Finance; 
Gray Phantom; Mrs. Richard McGovern; Ohio Non- 
pareil and Jules Amott as seed parents. Many of these 
were in various shades of chocolate and brown, mostly 
ruffled. Lavender Ruffles is also giving us some very 
fine sdlgs. in pastel shades. We have many fine sdlgs. 
on test over a period of from three to five years, some 
of which will undoubtedly make the top class, insur- 
ing top quality introductions of Wilson origination 
for the next few years. One of our largest cataloguers 
wrote me last winter that he did not see how we could 
introduce so many in one year and all be good. Our 
explanation to this is, we have been hybridizing on 
such a large scale, always using the nearest possible 
perfect spikes of each subject along with careful anal- 
ysis of each individual cross. It is therefore possible 
that we should secure a fair amount of worth while 
new originations. We have been striving to secure 
more budage, longer flowerheads and height. Too 
many introductions the past few years have stubby
