1949 GREETINGS 
Dear Friends: As I am writing this: We are all looking forward to another summer and planning our gardens. This 
will not reach you until February but I am hoping that you can find time to look over what I have to offer. 
You will find both new new and old varieties, also the Standard Popular Varieties. Many have lost some old favorite 
variety, and want to replace it. You might find it listed here. Some of these I have kept to use in hybridizing and 
only have a few to offer. 
In making out the General List, there is first the name of variety followed by name of originator or country in which 
it was originated. With my own varieties and all the very new or old varieties you will find the year it was first 
offered for sale. Then description of variety as accurate as possible. 
It is impossible to give exact time from planting to blooming, but I have tried to give you an idea as to when you look 
for blooms, if they are all planted at the same time. 
I am sorry that it was impossible for me to attend any of the shows last summer as I know, I missed a gireat deal of 
pleasure, but I want you to know how much we enjoyed visiting with every one who came to see us and the flowers. 
I want to thank all who have written to me, and tell you that I enjoyed all your letters. Only wish I had time to answer 
each one personally, and hope you will come again this year or write. 
If you have never come before. I think you would enjoy seeing our flowers, and we will be glad to see you. 
Kinyon Glad Gardens are located 10% miles east of Gladwin or about 16 miles west of Standish on M-61. Then % mile 
south through a woods road. The sign and mail box are on M-61.
