COLOR CHART 
The N.E.G.S.has published a new revised color chart containing 108 colors. In this 
there are many new colors and the colors are clearer and cleaner and brighter than in the 
old chart. You cannot match colors with this but you can find them. That is you can find in 
which classification the color of a garden flower belongs. This color chart is used by the 
National Council of State Garden Clubs Inc., and many others. DOROTHY BIDDLE, a 
well known lecturer and writer, says, “‘I shall continue to feel that this is the best chart 
available for garden club use.” 
It is valuable in many businesses as well as to flower growers. It is the best color chart 
published in the U. S. The N.E.G.S. uses this color chart system in classifying the colors of - 
glads for exhibition. 
This chart is mounted on board (13’’ x 13’’), folds down the center. 
$2.00 postpaid. Send direct to Albin K. Parker, Sec., Box G2, Norwood, Mass. And

PUBLISHING DATE 
of price lists and catalogue. Every year my fall price list is put out in October and my 
catalogue in January. Many old customers begin to write in for a price list or catalogue a 
month or two before they are put out and unless we check upon every one of these the cus- 
tomer’s name is liable to be duplicated in our files. So please don’t write in for a price list 
till November 1st or a catalogue till February 1st if you don’t receive it. If you have bought 
anything of us in the past two years you will get a price list and catalogue when they are 
sent out except that in rare cases a copy is lost. If you do not receive your price list by 
November 1st or catalogue by February 1st the chances are that your copy was lost and 
then you can drop us a card and we will send you another. Please don’t get anxious for them 
ahead of time.
