A LETTER FROM FLORALWOOD 10 YOU 
SOLES EIEIO LD EDIE LDL LLL DELL PD PDE DDO 
Dear Friend: 
In the closing of this, our first year in selling daylilies 
to you, we wish to thank you so very much for the wonderful 
response given us and to express our gratitude for the many 
fine letters from you praising our plants. Suffice to say, 
we have not received one word of complaint from any source. 
We are not large growers, but we are a flower minded family 
and we all take an active interest in our gardening efforts. 
We do not have a large acreage and all of the work is carried 
on by the family from growing to shipping and this assures 
you of fine stock that will grow for you and bloom the first 
year. 
We are now propagating over five hundred varieties and we 
shall continue to specialize in hemerocallis only. We are 
continually weeding out the un-desirable varieties that should 
never have been introduced and this assures you that every 
item we list has good garden value. Each year we are adding 
all of the new items that have proven worthwhile so that you may 
be able to purchase the latest things through us just as soon 
as we have propagated them sufficiently to list. We feel that 
our prices are on a parity or lower than any grower and our 
listing makes it both a retail and wholesale listing. 
We have a fine group of seedlings and next year we intend 
to introduce some of them and you may rest assured that they 
shall fe improvements in the daylily world. These introductions 
shall be sold with the understanding that if they do not measure 
up to our description, your money will be refunded, and, they 
will be introduced at prices that the average collector can 
afford. 
Again, we wish to thank you for your past patronage and promise 
to give you even better service in the future and the plants 
that we ship shall be the kind that we would be pleased to 
receive ourselves. 
We also wish to thank the Iris Test Gardens of Yakima, who so 
kindly gave us such a fine announcement in their catalog this 
past year. = 
Very Cordially, 
FLORALWOOD GARDENS 
Joe, Arlene, Tommy and Mike
