EASTERN CUSTOMERS Please Note 
We have been in correspondence with numerous 
customers located in the warmer areas of Long 
Island and southward through the more temperate 
regions of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the Caro- 
linas, and Georgia. From their reports, we judge 
that varieties which are marked “A” and “Bb” in 
our catalogue would succeed in the aforementioned 
localities. Prospective customers are invited to write 
us for information regarding the varieties most 
suited for trial in their gardens. 
During the winter of 1949-50 temperatures at 
our nursery dropped to ten degrees below zero. 
Accordingly we have indicated the varieties which 
have best withstood these low temperatures by 
inserting a note after the descriptive matter in each 
case. Incidentally, all of the hybrids listed in our 
catalogue were undamaged under lath house pro- 
tection. Those in the open field without shade had 
some burn above the snow line and in some in- 
stances were killed completely but on the whoie 
we are pleased to report that even under these sub- 
normal conditions the loss due to cold was limited 
to the “C” varieties and then only in the open ficld.
