aud Outstanding Varieties 
While we realize that growing conditions and personal preferences vary widely 
thruout our country, we believe that the eight varieties on this page are worthy 
of special attention. Our own flowering trials, plus careful observation of plantings 
elsewhere, have convinced us that each merits more than ordinary consideration.
