INTRODUCTORY 
WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT AND YOU WILL BE 
PROUD TO GROW WILSON ORIGINATIONS 
Appreciating the business of our customers both 
old and new we are not going to thank you now. 
We did that when we received your order. Can’t 
understand why so many wait a whole year to 
spill it when reaching for your order. Some lists 
we have been receiving for years, state each year, 
“The finest bulbs we ever raised.” Musta started 
with very poor grade and be pretty fine stuff by 
now. Should have wings in another few years. 
Our quality just keeps pokin’ along about the 
same each year and our customers don’t seem to 
mind it. 
Our stock is smaller than ever this year. Same 
old alibi, the labor shortage. Do you believe it? 
Allow this suggestion. Get busy on this list at 
once and toss us your contribution before our 
stock melts. We will not have enough to go 
around this year for sure. Sold too close last 
year. 
We had our first good summet’s rain on Labor 
Day, then you should have seen many of our 
spring planted blts. come through the ground. 
Weeds too. SO we have very few No. 5-6 sizes 
for sale. Some of our originations were planted 
so light that we will not have enough stock to list 
this year, but may be able to spare a bulb or two 
or a few blts. priced on request on the following: 
Bride’s Delight, Signal Ohio, Cut Up, Little War- 
rior, Lavender Ruffles and Jules Amott. No stock 
to offer of the following: Apricot Model, Gray 
Phantom, Oriental Display, Full Hand, Malay 
Chief, Bombay, Peggy Lou, Purple Classic, Fash- 
ion Plate and Mammoth Ohio. 
Wilson originations did exceptionally well at 
the 1944 shows but our records are very incomplete 
and we will give only what winnings we are sure of. 
Ohio Growers are reporting very good bulb 
growth but many varieties that ordinarily are good 
reproducers, made very few blts. in the dryest 
summer we can remember. 
We have cut prices a trifle this year where stock 
available will allow, and until after the war when 
we can secure some help again, our stock will con- 
tinue small with our large number of sdlgs. on 
test getting the major part of our attention. We 
ate getting pretty hard on the selection of new 
sdigs. for introduction and can not afford to 
bother with anything that does not prove really 
worthy.
