HE past year was most gratifying for us here at Croix Farms and I wish to take this opportunity to thank all who helped make 
1951 a memorable year for us. We want you to know that we are especially interested in the success of your glads because therein 
lies the reason for the existence of our business. Our continuous aim is to furnish quality bulbs of superior varieties and at a price 
that will enable you to get top value. / ; P 
Mother Nature gave us an abundance of rainfall combined with a cool growing season which produced a fine crop of bulbs for us 
However, our supply of large bulbs is more scarce and this condition also prevails with other growers. For that reason I would like 
to point out the value of medium sized bulbs for all types of planting. They are young, full of pep bulbs that will give you mar- 
velous results. In fact I prefer to plant the young medium bulbs rather than the large size. If you are not in the habit of buying 
medium sized bulbs, why not give them a try. : ; es 
I trust that you find this catalogue both interesting and helpful and that it will inspire you to have the best garden ever in 1952 
I extend my sincere good wishes.
