©Yntroduction- 
It is with great pleasure that I present my second annual catalog. In it will be found 
some of the better new varieties as well as many of the older ones. 
My list is not large as I am devoting more and more time to hybridizing, and propagat- 
ing my own seedlings, some of which I hope to introduce in the near future. However, the 
varieties I do list are all good, and I feel sure any bulbs I send out will produce good blooms 
if properly grown. 
My prices will be found as reasonable as any, considering the quality of bulbs I offer, 
and if you should favor me with an order I will do my utmost to please you with clean 
healthy bulbs, generous overcount and extras.

SEEDLING BULBS 
Due to the fact that I did very little hybridizing in 1946 and sold most of my seed thru 
my 1947 catalog, I will be unable to list any first year seedling bulbs this season. However 
in my 1949 catalog I hope to list at least 200 crosses of first year unbloomed seedling bulbs 
and 500 crosses of seed.
