DESCRIPTIVE LIST AND PRICE SCHEDULE -- CROP 1949 
FOREWORD 
Specialization is the password to quality. We are 
Specialists in petunisas and snapdragons with major 
emphasis on petunias. Never before has so much concen- 
trated effort been expended on the lowly petunia, yet the 
results justify the expenditure. The genetic nature of 
the grandiflora petunia is such that it responds only to 
highly scientific methods of breeding. The scarcity of 
true-to-type strains of grandiflora petunias proves the 
accuracy of this statement. Only when production and 
breeding go hand in hand (expert hands) can the ideal of 
100% uniform strains in the Dwarf Fringed Grandifloras 
be attained. We have closely approached the ideal in 
ALLEGRO, SONATA and single hybrid SNOWHITE, and we are 
in sight of the goal with all our varieties of doubles and 
hybrid singles. The breeding is an accomplished fact. 
Only the production problems remain to be solved. 
PAN AMERICAN POLICIES 
This year, we are offering our seeds in bulk at 
competitive prices, however, dealers wishing to continue 
to offer our originator's packets as heretofore may do 
so. In spite of production difficulties the past two 
years, we have gained 8 reputation for spot delivery 
by prepaid insured air maile Failure of delivery is 
expensive to the dealer. We shail zealously guard our 
reputation for dependability.« However, we urge our 
customers to place orders early as possible to insure 
full delivery and to help us plan our production. 
We are offering our hybrid snapdragons in packets 
only with the usual 50% dealer's commission. We feel 
this to be in the best interests of all concerned - the 
grower, the dealer and his customer,
