We have only one unlabeled collection. In 
it we put a little of everything in the catalog, in- 
cluding all of our surplus stock which sometimes 
consists of some of the higher priced varieties, 
stock that has gotten mixed, lost label varieties, 
varieties we are discontinuing, etc. We shall try 
to give as wide a range of varieties and colors as 
possible. From the number of repeat orders we 
get each year for this unlabeled collection it must 
do all right for our customers.

To tl Glad Fans: 
It is with genuine pleasure that we bring 
you our finest spring bulb catalog to date. 
We hope we may continue to improve the 
quality and variety of ovr offerings in the 
future and that you will enjoy in a measure 
the same delight in growing them on as do 
we. 
Every possible step is taken to insure that 
you will receive the finest quality of stock 
it is possible to produce. Complete control 
over insect pests and disease is exercised. 
Due to the fact our acreage is small we em- 
ploy the severest system of roguing, thus 
insuring you of receiving the very tops in 
quality—bulbs that should perform in a most 
reliable manner. Should you ever receive 
from us bulbs which do not delight you with 
their performance we do want to hear from 
you. 
Due to extreme dry conditions in Iowa— 
we had no measurable amount of rain for 70 
days—our bulb digging operations were 
completed early and easily. The entire field 
of young bulbs was growing right up to 
digging time despite the lack of moisture. 
Drying and cleaning was no problem at all 
and by December lst all bulbs had been 
treated and put to bed for the winter in 
trays in a fine, large basement warehouse 
where a temperature of about 40 degrees is 
maintained. Come spring now and we will 
be shipping to you choice, hand-dug and 
cleaned, properly stored, healthy bulbs. 
It is just impossible this year to elaborate 
on what we think are the best of the new- 
comers. Our choice is naturally the “ten 
best” listed on the back page. These along 
with a few other favorites are just about 
tops with us. 
We are growing lots of seed and seedlings 
and have some very promising numbers com- 
ing along—so they look to us. Further test- 
ing must be made so maybe in ’56 or ’57 
we'll have our first introduction ready. 
Grow a little seed. 
We hope you will have ribbons of bloom—- 
the delight of you and your neighbors. 
And thanks, each of you, for your order. 
Sincerely, 
Ken and Mary Hecht
