NOTE 
WHEN BUYING BULBS: Price does not mean everythirig, some of the old varieties 
still cannot be discounted. The newer varieties, however, are nearly all real beauties. 
We would suggest buying bulbs of different sizes of the same variety for a prolonged 
blooming season. It takes the smaller bulbs longer to bloom, they do not bloom an 
exhibition flower, but they do mature a fine bulb for the next season. About 75% of 
small: bulbs will bloom under ordinary conditions. “Different varieties also bloom at 
different times. Fe fab nt 
PRIZE WINNERS: We are listing around 170 varieties this year. We have checked 
and. found that 91 of these varieties drew at least three blue ribbons in 1946 Glad 
Shows. We list here 18 of Is top winning 22, which drew from 30 blue ds eye, ig to 
112 each.

NEW VARIETIES: Many of these are real winners and outclass the old varieties, but 
the price is still too high and they are also too scarce for popularity. Get in on the 
ground floor with some of the new varieties. 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: We mean this, if at any time, either after receiving 
the bulbs, or even after blooming, you feel there is ample room for complaint, just write 
us about it and we will do our best to make it right. We cannot, however, guarantee 
perfect blooms as many things beyond our control might happen, but if you feel the 
trouble was in the bulbs, let us know. 
MISLABELED VARIETIES: We take alll precautions to keep our varieties true to name, 
but in spite of this an occasional rogue may get in. If by any chance you receive a mis- 
labeled bulb we will do our part to make it right. 
BULBLET GERMINATION: We do not guarantee the germination of bulblets, as 
some varieties germinate very slow while others do exceptionally well. We advocate 
peeling and the use of Rootone. We used this with varieties this past year, that previously 
had been very slow germinators, with excellent results.

BULB STOCK: Nearly all of our stock was grown on entirely new ground this year 
and with the favorable season we have had, we have made a fine bulb growth. Nearly 
all the small bulbs, No. 5s and 6s, we planted made Jumbo bulbs. We have been 
hindered in our digging operations, with around 12” of rain in October. At this date, 
the first of November, many of our bulbs are still green, with no frost as yet; although 
we do have many dug and cured, and some cleaned. We have been doing all of this 
work by hand and while it is a slow process it assures you of good bulbs. We had 
practically no disease or thrips in our plantings this year. |
