GREETINGS 
It is indeed a pleasure to thank all those who sent me orders this past season 
for my 1945 introductions. Your generous response has made this circular possible. 
Reports of show winnings and the lot of fine letters which I have received with 
most gratifying comments, indicates that Silver Star, Orange Prince, and Snowsheen 
are really outstanding glads. 
Due to lack of help and the extra demand on my time, I have decided not 
to introduce any new varieties this year. I may release several new ones for your 
consideration for 1947. 
To those who failed to send in their order last season and to all prospective 
customers both old and new, I take pleasure in presenting herein a full description 
cf the above varieties with the show record of each according to reports received 
as of this writing. 
All our bulbs are clean and free fzom disease and thrip. If you are not satisfied, 
tell me and I will try to make your investment good. 
WHOLESALE PRICES 
i0 bulbs at 8 times the single price—100 bulbs at 8 times the 10 rate. Or, 
write us for quotations on large lots stating number and size of varieties wanted.

SILVER STAR 
(Name changed from Purple Heart to avoid confusion) 
Introduced 1945 under name of Purple Heart. SILVER STAR as predicted 
is already going places. A large formal pure white with bright purple shading to 
lavender blotch, floret size 5 to 6 inches with slightly rufled edge, 6 to 8_open and 
as many showing color on a heavy stiff spike with 16 to 18 buds, flower head 25 
inches, grows 55 inches high and blooms in 90 days. Tall healthy grower, extra 
heavy producer of medium size bulblets that germinate readily. Top notch exhibi- 
tion and also a good commercial. A spike of SILVER STAR with eight florets 
ozen is indeed a gorgeous thing to look at. 
If you did not see SILVER STAR at the 1945 show, look for it during 1946. 
It will be there with ribbons on.
