SEEDLINGS 
WE GROW MANY THOUSANDS OF SEEDLINGS EACH YEAR, produced from 
hand polonized crosses, using the best breeding stock available from all over the 
world. 
Inasmuch as we have a new lot of seedlings coming on each year, which must 
be planted and then checked at blooming time, we must make selections from the 
first blooming. If we would grow them again, we would undoubtedly find as many 
good ones in the second blooming as we did in the first blooming, therefore there 
are Many wonderful seedlings in our seedling mixture. 
At digging time we take out the very small percentage tagged for future con- 
sideration. All the rest are lifted and mixed together in one grand 4X seedling 
mixture. 
We had so many requests for strictly seedlings, that we are offering them this 
season. 
Should you find one worthy of naming, which is not at all unlikely, that 
seedling is your property, to do with as you choose.
