Foreword 
NEW YEAR has arrived, and it is indeed a pleasure to present our 
1953 catalog. We appreciate your requesting it and hope we may 
have your valued patronage for this and many seasons. 
We have assembled in this catalog most of the leading varieties. Our 1953 
Introductions have been carefully selected and merit your consideration. 
Our crop of bulbs is of the highest quality, young, high crowned, full of pep 
to give you those exhibition blooms. They are inspected in the fields and 
storage by competent State Inspectors and certified free of disease and insects. 
We sincerely thank all of our customers for your orders and confidence 
placed in us year after year. 
We wish to thank all those who tested and reported on our Premium 
Seedling 46 F-I. Due to the fact that the variety under certain conditions 
misplaces blooms we have decided not to introduce it. Since we try to keep 
our standards high on new varieties we feel we are fortunate in finding 
this fault before we introduced it. 
We take great pride in the varieties we catalog and trust we may have the 
pleasure of serving you again this year.
