The time has come to look over our stock and 
prepare another trade list. This year, as in every 
other year, we find ourselves comparing the 
varieties in the list with those which we offered 
in our first list back in 1937. Many of the 
proven old timers are still here as they probably 
will be for many years to come. The greatest 
changes seem to be in those large general 
classes where hybridizers have brought new 
vigor, new color, or form to plants which have 
long been garden standbys. Asters, Hemero- 
callis, Iris and Phlox are notable in this respect. 
Another class which we think merits your 
special attention is the Hibiscus, or Giant 
Mallow. In this book we list for the first time six 
named varieties of superior quality and “sales 
appeal’’” when compared with the seedlings 
usually offered. These are taking the place 
along side such other Sunny Border introduc- 
tions as the Geum Wilton Ruby, Dianthus Silver- 
mine, Rudbeckia Bright Star, Oenothera 
Ilumination and many others, 
Our sincere love for plants and interest in 
offering only plants of true value is known 
throughout the trade. Everything is carefully 
tested before being put on the market. As 
you look through the list we know you will 
realize that it includes the true aristocrats of the 
perennial world for here at Sunny Border our 
whole time and efforts are spent on nothing but 
perennials. We believe that such specialization 
means better plants for you. 
Here then is our fall 1950 and spring 1951 
list. It includes those plants which we grow in 
quantity but is by no means a complete listing. 
We invite your inquiry and pledge ourselves to 
give you the same high quality which you have 
come to expect from us in the past.
