Christmas Holly 
Gor Gifts and Decorations 
Again in December as for the past three years we will ship 
our huge boxes of Old English Holly that have gladdened the 
homes of so many of our customers and proven happy gifts for 
their friends. Shipping these by SPECIAL DELIVERY has proven 
so successful that we will continue to go to this extra expense. 
By this method the beautiful sprays of fine holly with their load 
of glistening red berries reaches you just a few days after cutting, 
almost as fresh as if you gathered it yourself. We shipped a late 
order to upper New York state last year on the 17th of De- 
cember and the box arrived the morning before Christmas, fresh 
and colorful. 
Our Fall and Christmas Lilygrams will repeat these offers 
but if you can get your orders in earlier, it will aid us in 
planning our shipping program. We pack the holly in large boxes 
two feet six inches long by thirteen inches wide and six inches 
deep, really a huge box, shipping weight over five pounds. 
This big box is sent postpaid, special delivery for $5.00, arriv- 
ing the week before Christmas, fresh and glistening, a joy to 
behold. For $3.00 we send a lesser quantity, shipping weight 
about three pounds, also sent prepaid special delivery. 
Many of our customers ordered a half dozen or more boxes as 
Christmas gifts and the letters of appreciation we’ve had from 
them are most gratifying. In checking back | find many cus- 
tomers order year after year, which would indicate they find 
the holly as superior as we feel it to be. For gift orders please 
send your cards and we will enclose them. As this is written it 
seems a long time until Christmas but the months go quickly 
and it will not be long until we'll again be packing this gorgeous 
holly which we know you'll enjoy so much. 
Tall Bearded Jnis 
Due to catalog limitations and the ever increasing number of 
lilies | found it necessary to discontinue the featuring of Tall 
Bearded Iris, much as | would like to offer them. Blooming be- 
fore the liles in most cases they are very important features of 
many gardens and with the vastly improved varieties available 
today you should not overlook them. 
However, | am going to continue the very popular Special 
Iris Offer of Dykes Medal Winners. This year we are offering 
eight gorgeous varieties, one plant each, the Dykes Medal win- 
ners 1940 to 1946 inclusive. These varieties won the highest 
awards in the irs world. They are Wabash ‘40, The Red Douglas 
‘41, Great Lakes ‘42, Prairie Sunset “43, Spun Gold ‘44, Elmohr 
‘45 and the tied ‘46 winners Daybreak and Ola Kala—all eight 
of these wonderful iris for $10.00 postpaid. If you have a spot 
in your garden where you want an especially fine iris display 
order this Special. 
WIRE BULB PLANTING BASKETS 
We are not offering these wire baskets due to the very high 
cost of wire and also manufacturing difficulties. I’m hoping 
another year will find it possible to supply them. 
SEED SPECIALTIES 
Again this year we can supply a limited amount of the supe- 
rior Primrose Seed offered the last two years. It is the Giant 
Polyanthus Primrose, the finest I’ve ever seen. We will supply 
it, Primula No. 1454 at, per packet $1.25. 
We are discontinuing all Pansy seed except the Giant Hybrid 
Swiss Mixed. This is a reselected strain, clear brilliant colors 
with huge blooms on compact plants. No. 1488, Pkt. $1.25. 
LILY SEED 
The ’49 lily seed list will be out in the early fall and a copy 
is sent to every customer of record. If you have not ordered 
from us during the last three years, and wish a seed list, send 
us your name. We offer about 70 kinds of lily seed, all hand 
fertilized.

outstanding strain of lilies. They are truly American Lilies, produced 
by hybridizing the native lilies of the west coast. Not all gardens 
can succeed with the native species but these hybrids have proven 
their value in gardens all over the country. You'll find them ex- 
cellent buys. For massing, we'll mail 25, postpaid for $10.95.
