No tests were made along germination lines the past season. 
Many have been made by us in the past but it requires more than 1 or 2 
seascus to arrive at definite conclusions. We do not know that such 
bulblets as Peggy Lou, White Gold, Ruffled Snow, Lavender Ruiles, 
etc. will germinate equally well with any standard dip, if treated the 
same in other respects. This statement naturally does not include such 
things as Rootone ete. 
We hope you will continue to send your new introductions and seed- 
lings to the Trial Garden in 1945. Some of you, we are certain, have 
been disappointed because we were unable to make a 100% check on 
these the past season. We do no commercial cutting for flowers. The . 
following illustration will explain what we do with our flowers 
and show one of the reasons why we’re unable to do our checking thor- 
oughly. Delivery of these flowers twice a week required a round trip 
of 100 miles each time.
