1952 RELEASES 
It gives us great pleasure to expand this department of gladliterature 
this year in two ways. 
First: Many hybridizers responded to our request in last year’s catalog 
for them to send us their seedlings. It was a real joy to discover several tr uly 
outstanding seedlings. There is not enough stock of some of them for intro- 
duction this year, so you will have to wait another year or two for them. How- 
ever, we do take great pride in co-introducing two wonderful varieties (Tyrone 
by Harry Deam, and Spartan by Lester Taylor) from among those tested. 
These are fully described a_ little 
later. Just let it be said here that 
they deserve the very highest praise, 
and you will be glad to ‘get them in 
time to win the blue ribbons when 
it comes show time in 1952. 
Second: We have greatly increa- 
sed the number of our introdue- 
tions. At a time when many growers 
are complaining that disease is a 
big problem, we fiind many varieties 
among our seedlings that don’t pay 
any attention to them. They go 
right on about their business of pro- 
ducing beautiful flowers and in- 
creasing their progency just as 
though there were no such things as 
Fusarium, Botrytis, etc. For ease 
of growing as well as adding new 
beauty and charm to your garden, 
you will appreciate our 1952 intro- 
ductions.
