(Often a good plan for commercial growers to keep ahead of their competitors. 
Try out a few new varieties each year and determine which are the better for your 
soil conditions prior to making any heavy investment and while we are unable to 
offer discount on 1947 intreductions or anything not priced in our “General Pre- 
paid List”, have a habit of reaching into the “Recent Introduction Trays” and in- 
cluding some nice things extra that will do you some good, and while this habit 
Speicher 1 have no inclination as yet to make any “New Year’s Resolution” to 
break it).
