fascinating adventure.

mative article by Mr. Buell (inside) which

TUBERS 
Healthy, well-cured stock—about 1"’ in 
diameter. 
For the convenience of those who desire 
flowers of a certain color range or type, Mr. 
Buell has taken time to produce a very 
limited supply of tubers from leaf cuttings. 
This is by no means a cross section of his 
new strain, as full production of separate 
named varieties will not get under way 
until the summer of 1950.
