A GAIN, as many times in the past, we stop to reflect what has happened during the past year. Some problems have been 
large and some small but progress has been made in one way or another. When we think about progress, we stop to 
analyze who has been responsible, and we can’t help but include all the many purchasers of Croix Farms products. Every- 
one has been responsible to a great degree, for the success we have had in 1948. We thank you for it. 
What will 1949 bring? One thing of which we are sure is that a lot of new varieties of gladiolus will be introduced, some 
of which will be good, some only fair and a few no doubt will be outstanding. It is our aim to catalogue and offer for sale 
only such varieties as appear to have superior qualities after having tested them here at Croix Farms. We have added 25 to 30 
to our list this season and we feel sure that our choice will please you. 
You’re probably developing plans right now to make your 1949 glad garden the best ever. This is to wish you luck and 
may you find happiness in your accomplishments. 
I extend my sincere good wishes.
