A MESSAGE FROM SCOTTY 
Hello Everybody! Here I am again and I think when 
you’ve looked over this offering, you’ll agree that there are 
some mighty interesting items listed—and the prices are 
certainly reasonable. Even the Scotsman who didn’t want 
to send his boy to school because he had to pay attention 
would appreciate these prices! 
One new feature we’ve added this time is the Home 
Nursery. Our place is on the mountain about 12 miles 
from Chattanooga, and often when visitors come to the 
nursery, it is quite a nice little outing for them, so they 
wander around the place, looking in all the cold frames 
and greenhouse, seeing the different steps in propagation. 
All are fascinated by the little plants they find in the cold 
frames, and many want to take some home with them. There 
seems to be such an interest in growing these “babies,” as 
they call them, that we are offering them to the general 
public as well as local trade. 
You will also notice that we’ve increased the daylily 
list considerably. We do think we’ve a splendid lot of day- 
lilies, and we cordially invite visitors to-come to see them 
in bloom. The usual varieties are at their best June and 
July, and the late-blooming McDade varieties are at their 
height late July and August. We’re very proud to be able 
to offer Mr. Elmer A. Claar’s ‘““The Doctor’ and Mr. Wil- 
liam T. Wood’s “Bill Wood.” These two fine reds have 
received much favorable comment. Dr. Phillip Corliss of 
Somerton, Arizona spent the entire summer last year visit- 
ing daylily gardens all over the country, taking pictures and 
evaluating the things he saw. He considered Bill Wood 
and The Doctor among the very best of the deep reds. 
Speaking of pictures, Dr. Corliss no doubt has the finest 
collection of color pictures of hemerocallis to be had. So 
many people have heard of his kodachrome collection that 
he has gotten together several large collections which he 
sends out for a rental fee. If interested, we suggest you 
write him direct. Dr. Phillip G. Corliss, P. O. Box 68, 
Somerton, Arizona. 
Transportation rates seem to be going up and up, and 
the amount of money left for the plants is going down and 
down, so you will notice that in most cases we have listed 
only small sized plants that can be shipped inexpensively. 
When the plants are large, they require heavy balls and 
packing cases. However, if you are interested in large 
| _ specimens, please inquire. 



Everybody is working on artistic flower arrangements 
these days, and the trend seems to be toward plants with 
foliage which lends itself well to flower arrangements. We 
are propagating with this in mind, and in my next message 
I hope to be able to suggest to you just what plants are 
best suited for arrangements and give suggestions as to 
combinations. 
I’ll be writing you again, so goodbye for now—and let 
us be hearing from you!
