AND SUPPLEMENT TO OUR 1948 CATALOG 
Containing complete index on price revisions, varieties discontinued, 
many varieties not listed in our 1948 catalog and Beverley new intro- 
ductions for 1949. Plus several changes in regard to discounts and 
collections. 
Because of the existing fluctuating price and market conditions as 
well as continually mounting production costs we thought it to the 
best interest of our customers as well as ourselves to defer issuing a 
complete new catalog until a later date. 
We urge our customers to order early enough to be assured of 
getting as complete a selection of their own choice as possible. Be 
sure to state approximate date you wish your order to be shipped. 
We are in a better position to store roots and bulbs over the winter 
months than most of our customers, consequently, we do not advise 
shipment until proper planting time in your area.
