E. L. Vennard, the 
President of our Nursery, 
has been associated wich 
a wholesale Plumbing and 
Heating Company for 32 
years, and has been man- 
ager of that concern for 
16 years. He is also the 
President of the local 
Barbershop Quartet So- 
ciety Chapter; and sings 
in a group from that or- 
ganization. Pictured here 
are che ‘WIGMANATRES.’ 
It all started as a three- 
some at one of the local 
clubs. They sang their 
songs wherever they met, 
and then “along came 
Charley,’ and after two 
years of it—they still 
have fun.

We could have included such fine numbers as Daisy Mae, Badger Beauty, Ethel 
Cave Cole, Autumn Gold, Beauty’s Blush, Connecticut Yankee, Elizabeth the Queen, 
Valeria, White Gold, Lavender and Gold, Van Gold, Margaret Beaton, Francis M. 
Irwin, Mother Kadel, and a dozen others, so why try to select a “Top 12,” except to 
sort of guide our customers the direction we believe best. We probably grow about 
150 varieties, which is 100 too many when you have three million to keep straight in 
the storage house, and at planting time. We love them all, however, and how hard. it 
was to give up Aladdin and Peggy Lou! They were a great pair of girls a few years 
ago. How they thrilled us then! We expect to buy forty or fifty new things for our 
trial garden this season—so come on in and see what they look like. We will also have 
four or five thousand new seedlings to fool with, from about 60 crosses. 
A lot of thrills lurking in those small bulbs. 
EK. L. VENNARD.
