1948 CO-INTRODUCTIONS 
We list only a very few of the 1948 introductions offered by other firms. We have 
grown none of these in our trial garden, consequently we offer only those in which we 
have such confidence in the hybridizer that we have every belief that they will measure 
up to the high standards of their former introductions.
