GREETINGS 
Another year has rolled around and again we want to express our appreciation 
and many thanks to our old and new customers for the many fine orders received 
the past year. 
The past season in this district was very dry and the weather cold but had very 
nice weather at digging time. We have harvested a very nice lot of bulbs. We will 
be pleased to accept your orders which will be personally filled with the best that we 
have available. 
We have listed more new varieties this year which we think are some of the best 
in their different classes. Most of these we have grown the past year and they have 
met with our approval and we hope that you will like them.

bulblets after April 1 and we do not care to accept orders for bulbs after May 1st as

SUGGESTIONS 
We suggest the soaking of all bulbs before planting, whether bought from us or 
someone else, for the prevention of thrip and also other diseases. We also use some 
Napthalene Flakes mixed with bulbs in storage. One ounce sprinkled on each 100 
large bulbs for about 3 or 4 weeks if confined in bags or longer if in open flats. 
We use Corrosive Sublimate (Mercuric Chloride) for the soaking of bulbs. Dis- 
solve one ounce of powder in a bit of hot water and pour into 7 gallons of water 
above 60 degrees. Soak 7 to 10 hours or overnight. Do not use metal containers. 
Or use Lysol, 1 tablespoonful to one gallon water soaking 4 to 8 hours. 
For spraying use 114 teaspoons Tartar Emetic and 1234 cups brown sugar to 3 
gallons water. Spray every week or ten days.
