Foreword 
T IS indeed a great pleasure to present our 1952 catalog to you. We 
want you to know that we certainly appreciate your many fine orders, 
and hope that we can continue to serve you again this year. 
Although it is impossible to grow all the new varieties coming on the 
market each year, we try to the best of our ability, to catalog the most 
promising of them. We feel that any selections you may make, will, if 
given proper growing conditions, reward you with superb blooms. 
Our bulbs are grown under the best cultural practices on new land 
each year. This is organically rich soil and produces clean, high crowned 
young bulbs that give the best results. Our bulbs are cured in a modern 
storage and handled with utmost care. They are inspected in the fields 
and storage by competent State Inspectors and certified free of disease 
and insects. 
If you have not previously ordered from us I would like to suggest that 
you give us a trial and become one of our host of enthusiastic customers. 
We will do our utmost to please you and hope you have a gorgeous display 
of our flowers this coming year.
