VISITORS WELCOME 
Our show gardens are located on corner of Walker Ave. 
and 3 mile road, two and one-quarter miles north of West 
Leonard St. city limits. Call and get acquainted. It pays. 
Our gardens and field plantings are at their best us- 
ually from September 15th on, as most of the late plant- 
ings are in bloom then. Many varieties bloom early in 
August even if we do not finish planting until July Ist. 
GREETINGS FOR 1953 
The 1952 growing season was about average here. Al- 
though very dry late in the summer, my: plantings pro- 
duced a good crop. The show gardens and fields had 
thousands of blooms right up to frost. 
I am presenting my 1953 book for your approval. I 
have added some new varieties and have omitted those 
from the 1952 book that were sold out. I also grow a good 
many of which I do not have a sufficient stock to list 
every year. 
My thanks for your nice orders and letters during the 
past year. I hope to be of service to you during the 
coming season. 
Yours respectfully, 
A. T. EDISON 
Special Information
