January 1, 1948 
Si Orewor d 
NCE again it is my happy privilege to greet you, our loyal customers 
and friends, to review the year’s activities and to present our 1948 
introductions. 
This past year was highlighted by an air trip to Europe oc- — 
casioned by an invitation from the City of Paris to judge Roses at the - 
Concours de Bagatelle, a signal honor which I greatly appreciated; doubly 
significant because the Gold Medal was awarded this year to an American 
Rose “Applause.” 
En route we attended the Chelsea Flower Show in London, a 
veritable paradise of beauty and the meeting place of the world’s horti- 
culturists. 
For six weeks thereafter we toured England, Scotland, Holland 
and France, visiting old friends, making new contacts and selecting many 
new Roses, Perennials and Chrysanthemums for trial in this country. 
These tests will take several years but should produce many long-awaited - 
novelties. 
The world-famous English firm of Allwood’s, Ltd., has ap- 
pointed Totty’s their exclusive agents in the United States. Each year we 
will feature one of their novelty Carnations. 
This season we introduce from Holland “Meis Copijn,” a true 
pink Phlox. From England, we bring you “Prosperity” and “Plenty,” two 
excellent hardy Asters, and a trio of Chrysanthemums — “Duchess,” 
“Emperor” and “Orange Gem.” Another Totty exclusive is Shasta Daisy 
“Totty’s Special,” of outstanding size. As promised last year, Roses are 
now in more plentiful supply. 
Thank you sincerely for your continued patronage. Good luck 
with your Freedom Garden. °
