INVESTMENT 
Now, as you know, we only sell seedling 
bulbs: and up to this time have catalogued 
no named varieties for sale. We could dis- 
seminate some of our own seedlings and 
sports, but would rather sell what we have 
in block lots; or, in other words, all of a 
seedling variety, its large and small bulbs 
and its bulblets, all to one person. The 
reason for this is that when you invest in 
a seedling or sport that has about proven 
itself you take ALL the stock and your 
investment has a real chance. 
For a while | would rather grow great 
quantities of seedlings to sell and leave 
the debut of named beauties to Andy 
Maier, Russ Everhart, J. D. Long, E. Gove, 
Oe EVonsa. Ges oCd boChwin..J) sar Onihne gs 
ES re Lins; Ht. E. Janes and .a host: or other 
fine friends who are in the industry. | buy 
from many of the folks listed above as 
well as others. 
When | say seedlings—large and small 
bulbs and bulblets, of course—I mean two- 
and three-year-olds we have picked out for 
quality and color; and have taken colored 
35mm. Kodachrome pictures of all these, 
we advertise in this catalogue, although 
you will find listed mostly one-year seed- 
ling bulbs grown from seed this year. 
The difference is two- and three-years, 
we list, we know all about them, as to color, 
stem, foliage, height, flowerhead, number 
of buds, flower attachment, bulb health, 
bulblet production, germination, blossom 
placement, size, texture, type, facing and 
style. (This information you will find given 
when you read about the two- and three- 
year-old stock. ) 
But in one-year-old seedlings, none of 
the above attributes is known, as. they 
have not flowered; also your investment on 
these is not as heavy; this year we have 
lowered the prices on these one-year seed- 
lings; so you can afford to have more than 
in the past. 
Before you invest and get all the bulbs 
of a seedling variety of either a two- or 
three-year-old, we can send you a small 
projector with the 35mm. Kodachrome pic- 
ture and thus you can get a good idea of
