A FEW WORDS 
Before we get into our 1952 catalogue, just a few words. Another 
season gone by—another catalogue written and presented to you. We 
hope you will enjoy it and we hope you will take it in the spirit it is 
written, bearing in mind that we all do not see alike. We try to be more 
than fair and if we criticize, we are calling the shot as we see it. Some 
varieties demand certain conditions, to be at their best, and maybe we 
do not have those conditions. Maybe we do, and then we are unduly fa- 
vorable in our comments. Some growers have plenty of water and we are 
one of those, enabling them to produce better spikes than the man with- 
out irrigation. All in all, our comments are based on our own growing 
and from gardens under our frequent visiting. 
PRICES 
Now - about prices All of us realize that everything costs more than 
it did several years ago. Labor, supplies catalogues, postage - every- 
thing going into the business costs more. We have kept our prices as 
low as we can and still make a profit. Unless otherwise stated, the 
prices shown are the each price. On the lower prices varieties, the 
price will appear as 12/$1.00, indicating 12 bulbs for $1.00. If you desire
