GREETINGS 
To all old and new customers alike I want to thank you for another Successful Season. 
1947 was very cold, wet and late for planting and followed by the dryest season we have ever 
had. But in spite of it I had some nice cut flowers and a fine crop of extra clean bulbs. We 
will give you extra good count on all retail orders that stock is available, and on account of poor 
health I have got to cut down on raising glads, so anyone desiring quantity lots, send me a list 
of your wants and I will quote you a special price on it, providing you want 100 or more of a 
kind and size. But don’t ask for special price by the 100 and then order 25 for that price. If you 
want only 25 order at the 100 rate—which is 8 times 10 rate F.O.B. Barre, Vt. I have a few new 
ones to Introduce this year and I will give extra good count on them if you want to try them. 
Gladly yours,

able. Opens good when cut in bud making it a fine commercial as well as a fine show spike. With

Pat (Ha.) (Early). A light rose pink heavily ruffling with 6-7 41% inch round florets open. 
6 more showing color. It has grace and form and never crooks; double row placement. It sure is

Marjorie Phyllis (Ha.) (Mid. Season). Color pink deeper on outer edges and deeper feather 
on light throat. Opens 8-10 61% inch ruffled florets at once. 18-20 total buds on a 26 inch head 
and will grow 5 ft. high, always straight and good placement. It makes a wonderful spike of 
gant size. Last year John E. Kerns of Chester Heights, Pa. came up from the Boston Show to 
see my garden, and when he saw Marjorie Phyllis he said if he'd had that spike down to the 
Boston Show he could have beat anything that was there. It sure is a beautiful flower, but | 
am not asking $10.00 like some do. I am puting the price down where everyone can try it and see 
what a glad it is.
