IN LAST YEAR'S CATALOG 
| had several pages of matter that | think was helpful and interesting to ama- 
teurs and answered many questions often asked me. | do not have it in this year’s 
catalog but have had it printed in a circular which | am sending along with the 
catalog in answer to all new requests. If you sent for a catalog this last fall and 
received my price list and not this circular just drop me a card and | will send you 
one. 
ABOUT THE NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
There are hundreds of new varieties released every year. So many as to 
bewilder the commercial grower as well as the amateur. | try to select the ones 
that have the most promise and that look like real improvements over varieties 
already on the market. Some people say | introduce too many. Perhaps | do for my 
own welfare but they look good to me. 
Besides the ones that | have bought and am introducing myself | cooperate 
with other growers and cointroduce some varieties with them. If these varieties 
in other grower'’s catalogs are good why aren't they good if in my catalog? | 
enable people to buy in one place instead of sending to a number of diferent 
rowers. Better try some of these new ones. They will surprise you. 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN is one of the finest breeders ever produced. In 
Heyes: new introductions at least seven are seedlings of Elizabeth—a grand 
glad.
