GREETINGS 
Again we wish to say ‘thank you” to our many customers, both old and new, 
for your orders in 1952. It is always a pleasure to receive and fill your orders. 
Our bulb business has grown so fast that we again had to refuse orders in spite 
of our greatly increased stocks. 
We are pleased to bring you our 1953 Catalog and hope that within its pages 
you may find the varieties you need. In spite of rising costs we have tried to 
“hold the line” and offer you the same top values as in 1952. We have added 
many new varieties and dropped some others. We try to bring you only the best 
ones as we see them in our field. ; 
As usual our bulbs have been grown with the very best care in light sandy 
soil with plenty of water (irrigation). Allowed to mature fully before harvesting. 
After digging they are washed immediately, dried quickly and dusted with D.D.T. 
before storage. We feel sure you will be well pleased with both the appearance 
and performance of the bulbs you will receive from us this year. Our aim is to 
give you the best at the lowest prices possible.
