GREETINGS FOR 1950 
Another spring before us with all the wonderful, new creations produced by the 
Master Hybridizers to thrill us and make our gardens more beautiful. 
Our offerings this year include twenty-four new English Chrysanthemums we have 
imported and by the way, do you know that in England these English chrysanthe- 
mums are grown extensively for the cut flower trade. Included in the new importa- 
tions is a bevy of early blooming beauties listed as THE SWEETHEART SERIES. 
We are also listing the new 1950 introductions of BRISTOL, DR. KRAUS and 
MR. LEHMAN. Study them and choose what you think will fit in your garden 
scheme. 
In the Iris section we are listing many of Mrs. Whiting’s Iris. Mrs. Whiting was 
presented a gold medal in 1948 for her wonderful work of hybridizing. All of her 
creations are meritorious and every garden should: have a few of them. 
In the HEMEROCALLIS section you will find many of Mr. Russell’s creations. 
These are also worthy of your consideration. 
We are again treating those Mums with BLACK GOLD. Remember what it done 
for your mums last year?
