FOREWORD 
The war must still rule thoughts and condition acts, hence once more I 
ask your contentment with the tersest of price lists and your wait for a 
complete descriptive catalogue until times of lesser strain have come again. 
I urge its none the less careful perusal, however, for the omission of 
puffing does not mean that its offerings have suffered in quality. On the 
contrary the discriminating gardner will find endless temptations, for 
this is in fact my very best list to date. Amongst the daffodils you will 
find not only an excellent selection of the magnificent productions, both 
well tested and new, which have come to us from the British Isles, but 
also an appreciably augmented series received from, our honored Pacific 
allies, Australia ant New Zealand, where artistry with anther and stigma 
of the daffodil as of the rose has been attended by much originality and 
an abundance of charm. 
Selection and propagation of seedlings for 1943 introduction was great- 
ly interfered with last year by illness, so only three new irises are here 
included. One of these is a smartly beruffiled cavalier from Mrs. Nancy 
Shank’s Corona garden which all beholders covet. One is a smooth, tall 
ivory-yellow, the third a tough-growing but very winsome hybrid Apogon 
of most unusual parentage raised by myself. 
Please note the very reasonable prices for such daffodils as BOK- 
HARA, COPPER BOWL, CORNISH FIRE, CRUSADER, DAMSON, 
FORTUNE, FRICKLESTIN V. C., JEAN HOOD, LANARTH, LIT- 
TLE JOHN, MILITANT, PEERLESS, and such beautiful irises as 
BLUE DEEP, BROCADE, DAYSPRING, MOHAVE, MOONGOLD, 
MORELLO, PRIDE OF REDLANDS, TEMESCAL, TOURMA- 
LINE and VANGUARD. 
I am always glad to make up special collections on order, where the 
customer is undecided how best to choose for himself, giving due atten- 
tion where possible to color preferences and to whether it is intended 
to cover a long season or plant for a period of shorter but more abundant 
bloom. 
EASTERN CUSTOMERS WILL FIND OUR ABILITY TO SHIP 
BOTH IRISES AND DAFFODILS BY EARLY SUMMER AN IN- 
ESTIMABLE ADVANTAGE, GIVING THE PLANTS AN EXTRA 
LONG PERIOD OF ROOT-GROWTH BEFORE THE ONSET OF 
WINTER.
