Treasure Chest Collection 
Composed of advanced seedlings of which I may have more than I need to con- 
tinue tests; also some standards, including ‘some high priced varieties of which I may 
have a surplus. Contains varieties you have never seen before and would cost many 
times more if purchased under label. 
From Mr. J. R. King (THE MAN WITH THE HOB), Faribault, Minn.,Sept. 8, 1945, 
comes this testimonial: “This spring I was very busy but ordered a Treasure Chest 
Collection from you. Altho the season has been poor and I have not had time to 
devote to them properly I want to tell you that they are the finest collection of glads 
I have ever had and that is some thirty years. They are’ the envy of my neighbors 
who an at they are the finest they have seen. You may use this letter in any way 
you see fit.”

Fairy Butterfly (Sommers 1946) 
I am listing this for Mr. Sommers, having grown this in my garden last summer. 
It makes nice thin stemmed strong plants of good height, holding 4-5 4-inch butterfly 
bloom open. The color is a blending of pink and yellow reminding of the rose Talis- 
man. Blooms early and is heavy propagator.
