Again we are happy to offer our price list for our 
double and single hybrid petunias and hybrid and line- 
bred snapdragons. Again we wish to express our gratitude 
to our customers for their continued patronage and their 
expressed gocd will and confidence in our seeds. That we 
have been accorded the leading place in the production 
of all-double petunia seeds is warmly gratifying and proves 
the soundness and practicality of our highly scientific 
methods of breeding and production. 
Our hybrid snapdragons, too, are being extremely well 
received. In these we are being guided by the preferences 
of florists and seedsmen to whom we send advance trials. 
This year we are introducing four of the new hybrid snap- 
dragons which you have demanded. We are sorry that we 
are not able to produce the fifth, Rose Pink Hybrid No. 2. 
The ones we are introducing are Pink Hybrid No. 1 
which we are calling Mountain Pink, Lt. Bronze Hybrid 
No. 1 which is now well known as Sunglow, Bronze Hybrid 
No. 2 which we call Indian Summer and Red Hybrid No. 2 
which we have named Red Wing. 
PRICES AND POLICIES 
We are happy to announce price reductions on some 
items. Our single hybrid petunias have been exceptionally 
well received and by growing them in quantity, we are able 
to lower the production costs. We have been able to 
achieve some economies in the production of the double 
petunas, however, due to the cost of maintaining and im- 
proving our lines, we must go slow on reducing prices. 
Therefore, instead of reducing prices on the doubles 
this year, we are offering a special discount to dealers. 
This discount is 5% effective on orders received before 
Sept. 1, 1950 and on double petunias only. This year also 
we are offering the standard 2% discount on all invoices 
paid within thirty days of date of invoice. 
Double and single petunias are available in packets 
at florists’ trade prices less the dealer discount and in 
bulk at wholesale prices. Open pollinated varieties of 
snapdragons, with the exception of varieties introduced 
by us, are available only in bulk at wholesale prices. Our 
own snapdragon introductions, both hybrid and line bred 
varieties, are offered in originator packets only at florist 
trade prices less the dealer discount. 
ALL-DOUBLH PETUNIAS 
During the past year we have had more favorable 
comment on our varieties of double petunias than ever 
before. That this should happen when our competitors and 
competing varieties were more numerous than ever is proof 
of the efficacy of our program of constant improvement. 
Our ability to keep improving our double petunias has 
surpassed our own expectations. In spite of our conserva- 
tive promises, last year, we were able to sell exclusively 
the 100% grandiflora strain of ALLEGRO. We are happy 
to announce that our 1950 crops of Caprice, and Minuet 
will be of newly improved 100% grandiflora, uniformly 
full double strains. Minuet is also dwarfer than hereto- 
fore. In 1951 we can definitely promise that Nocturne also 
will be 100% large flowered. 
Our goal of uniformly dwarf, 100% grandiflora va- 
rieties and mixtures is ncw within sight.
