DISAPPOINTED—NO BUDS SHOWING 
“1 am disappointed in that they are so 
small. Not one had a bud showing for 
next year’s bloom.” 
Oklahoma Mrs. W.E.A. 
The above order was sent out on July Ist. 
All were of the smaller root type. Very 
few put on new growth before August dur- 
ing a normal year. During prolonged drouth 
periods they are almost dormant but come 
out of it fast when the rains come. We had 
no rain in June, one-half inch in July, nene 
in August and one-half inch in Sebtember. 
Maybe you think we didn’t have a hot time 
digging our biggest year’s business and do- 
ing our own transplanting. All were in ond 
looking mighty fine by the first of Novem- 
her when we took inventory. The prices in 
this catalog were arrived at last Novembev.
