PRICES 
You will undoubtedly notice that our catalog grouping has been rearranged into four 
jifferent price groups. A\ll varieties in each group are the same price except in the SUPREME 
GR\ uP where each variety carries its own price. 
The price for each group can be found under the group title. These groupings are 
jour convenience in more rapidly locating varieties in the price range that you feel you 
can afford. All prices include Parcel Post.

ILLUSTRATIONS 
ds 10uld we list a variety and then fail to rate it very highly, there is a reason for listing it, 
which might be popular demand for that color. A good example of this is ‘‘Abu Hassan,”’ 
beautiful purple which is described by most growers as a deep blue. It is a beautiful shade 
| shall list it only until something better at a moderate price is found to replace it. 
el’’ is a little better but no blue that | know of is as healthy as other varieties (why | 
’t know). 
BLOOMING DATES 
lt is very difficult for a grower to state definitely the number of days required for a 
t ty to bloom. In fact, it is an impossibility since the time varies in different parts of the 
ntry under different climatic conditions and differing soils. The time of planting also 
afi ects the blooming date as well as the size of the bulb planted. 
ai have tried to give a rough guide in my catalog. Following is the key. 
E—-EARLY—60-70 days 
EM—EARLY MID-SEASON—70-80 days 
M—MID-SEASON—80-90 days 
LM—LATE MID-SEASON—90-100 days 
L—LATE—100 or over
