GENERAL LIST 
of Recent Introductions 
Cut flower growers are finding their market more competitive each year, 
and they should invest part of ther earnings in the best of the new varieties. 
In order to help you determine which are the best, we obtain from 75 to 
100 new ones every year, grow them in our garden. ‘The very best are selected 
from these to offer you. All the varieties in this list performeed very well 
under our growing conditions. The late summer of 1951 will go down in 
history as one of the driest for this part of Indiana. Our irrigation system 
surely got a work out. 
The price shown in this section is for one bulb unless otherwist stated. 
Ten bulbs may be bought for eight times the price of one.
