But for the necessity of reserving judgement on several others, 
this summary could go on and on. Needless to say some were so dis-~ 
apointing as to make you hope they will prove better another year, 
while others wouldn't have been so dissapointing had they been either 
better or worse. 
And looking into the future perhaps I should mention this one 
ag you will be hearing more from it a year from now, WENOKA,a LADY 
JANE seedling in a warm medium shade of red that crowds the 500 series 
as to size. It's just another red Glad until you. get better acquain- 
ted with it. Performance is the key word here, Eight to ten open 
from M size and five to seven open from bulblets on tall saleable 
Spikes. Will have at least one trial garden report on this for you 
in 1948, ve ea 
Transportation 
,At present the safest movement is by Special Handling Parcel 
Fost,which.travels same as lst.class mail,at the very small additional 
cost of 10¢ up to two pounds;15¢ for two to ten pounds;over ten 
pounds .20¢, This service is not only cheaper than express but both 
faster and safer,for the less time on the road;less hazard from sudden 
weather changes and exposure at terminals,both express and ordinary 
parcel post. No mail shipped can be sent collect but I can ship 
C.0.D.for the postage and any remaining balance due,which also in- 
sures the package against loss.or damage,and still gets the shipment 
to you in less time and at a smaller cost than express shipment. 
At the. bottoms of enclosed order blanks will be found custom- 
ers shipping directions. The last two items refer to popaid orders 
only. . i ;

I wish to thank my old customers for their many acknowledgements 
of appreciation in this regard and extend the same generous treatment 
to as many new customers as I can render service to. 
A hint or two as to what varieties I have available that will 
interest you in this respect,saves me a lot of head scratching,which 
I'm usually too busy to indulge in and my hair is getting thin any- 
way. Thank you. And remember I'm no exception. We all appreciate 
early orders. One-fourth down will reserve stock for future delivery 
and makes me feel no less generous than a cash order. . 
Will meet some of you in Milwaukee at the convention this 
winter;l hope. pags 
Hopeing the coming season will’ be the best you have ever 
enjoyed, 
I am Sincerely Yours, _
