Dear Friends, 
Greetings for 1953! 
To save on time, space and cost, we have 
trimmed our catalog down to the minimum of 
description and non-essential matter. 
Our bulbs this year are of a fine quality 
that should do your garden proud. 
We regret that, by accident, last year some 
diseased stock of Lavender Dream was sold. If 
you bought this variety from me and it was a 
failure, please write me your name, the number 
bought and the number of failures and, after 
ehecking your order, I shall replace the number 
you claim as failures. I sincerely hope that not 
many had any trouble with it. Some of this 
variety was also included in the Ideal Collec- 
tions so the same applies to you who bought 
these collections. 
Get your order in early this year so as to be 
more sure of getting what you really want. 
Sincerely yours, 
HAROLD B. HIGGINS.
