A WORD OF APOLOGY 
We again want to express our appreciation and many thanks to our friends 
and customers for their many fine orders last year. 
Due to the war, the running of a coal mine, and labor shortage, we were 
unable to get all our stock planted last spring. However, we did get enough 
time to grow a nice crop of Leading Lady, to which we devoted the major por- 
tion of our spare time. But we did squeeze in a few other attractive 
varieties, which we have listed. 
A little more detailed explanation as to why we are able to offer so few 
varieties besides our pride and joy, “Leading Lady”, might be in order: Our 
only son, Dale, who was a great help, is now serving with the U. S. Army Air 
Corps. Elmer and Johnny, who helped to dig bulbs, are also in the Army, and 
“Shorty”, who always helped clean the bulbs, is in other work. This left only 
my wife, our daughter Jean, and I to carry on the work, and since you know 
about what it takes to plant a large crop, you will understand our shortage of 
varieties this year. However, we’re not complaining, because if our boys now in 
Service help bring Victory, we’ll consider the plantings this year as well lost.
