A Message 
FROM ALLEN J. WILD 
It is with pardonable 
pride that we mail our 
colorful new catalog to 
flower-lovers far and near. 
To our many loyal cus- 
tomers and many new 
friends we present attrac- 
tive offerings of Iris, Peo- 
nies, Daffodils and Hemer- 
ocallis worthy of your se- 
rious consideration after 
careful study and _ rigid 
comparison. 
It is our hope that you 
will enjoy a leisurely read- 
ing of the many interest- 
ing descriptions as well as 
the reproductions in full 
color of a number of peo- 
nies and daylilies. 
We—my son, Jim, and 
Shirley Gene, my daugh- 
ter, and myself, have de- 
voted a great deal of time 
and study in the prepara- 
tion of this catalog, and it 
is our hope that it gives 
all of you as much in re- 
ceiving it as it gave us in 
sending it to you.
