LOWEST PRICES 
JUST WHY THESE UNHEARD 
OF SLASHED PRICES 
When you are offered a bargain don’t you think there has got to be 
a sound and logical reason for it or else you are being misled? I 
know I don’t know it all but I know you are intelligent enough to 
wonder why I cut prices so low when we are already the best known 
daylily growers in America and our varieties have consistently led 
all the polls and it is our variety that stands at the top of the poll 
at this time. Now, my only defense to these low prices is to ask you: 
“Don’t you think that where I grow ten and twenty thousand plants 
of a single variety I could naturally sell them cheaper than those 
who grow fifteen or twenty plants of some varieties?” Frankly, I 
know I’m not loved even one tiny part as much as Id like to be by 
all my fellow professionals but am I to be blamed because I spent 
a lifetime growing daylilies, nothing but daylilies and had the fore- 
thought to put out thirty acres? It’s you I’m thinking of, my fellow 
gardeners, you have made my business the largest of its kind in all 
America and I have no intentions of sitting down and waiting for 
any grower to pass me. We have received thousands of letters com- 
plimenting us on our stock, etc., for this we are most grateful, but 
the most prized possessions in my office are those letters from the 
thousands and thousands of you thanking us for giving the world 
these glorious originations at prices everyone can afford—to my 
competitors I can only say you'll have to either “FISH or CUT

NEWLY PLANTED DAYLILIES AT OUR HOME 
I built this house a few seasons ago and this picture was made 
before the house and grounds were finished—I wanted to get 
my garden started as early as possible. It’s a huge 11-room 
house with 4 baths. I wanted to build it large enough, especially 
so that we would have room for our large family and the many 
out-of-state visitors who have visited our gardens every year. 
We have had as many as 12,000 visitors in our fields on one 
Sunday and if you ever get a chance to visit us during the 
blooming season I promise you a treat you won’t easily forget.
