Please make second or third choice, or with your permission I will sub- 
stitute a similar cross if I am sold out of the one you want, 
I have a large nunber of crosses that did not produce enough seeds to in~ 
clude them in the above list. These are offered at 7 packets for $5.00 as long 
as they last. These must be ny choice and if you are not well pleased, return 
the seed and your money will be refunded. 
I would aporeciate any suggestions you make of crosses you would like to 
see made in Glads, 
In the Fall of 1950 I hope to have a small amount of Outdoor Mum seed from 
crosses that have produced good plants. In 1952 we will offer a new strain of 
Delphiniun seed of our own origination. If interested — write to me.
