DEAR GLAD FRIEND: 
Once again it is Catalog time and we are glad to send you our 1954 edition. 
We wish to thank all of our customers for their business in past years and 
hope that we will have the pleasure of serving you in 1954. 
If you have never ordered from us, may we suggest a trial order. We feel 
sure that you will be pleased with the quality of our stock.. We are introduc- 
ing three new varieties for 1954, namely: Celestial Rose, Fortune, and Mother 
Anne. We consider these to be valuable additions to their respective color 
classes for show purposes as well as promising commercial varieties. We have 
selected them for their bright, clear colors and good growing habits along with 
other good qualities. 
Our 1953 intrcductions were well received. Margery, a very beautiful 
cerise rose won a Grand Championship in its introductory year. Red Radiance, 
a very bright light red is most promising for commercial growing and also for 
the show table. 
Our other introductions; Honey, Pink Classic, Skippy and Golden Crown 
are now down in price so that everyone can enjoy them. 
In List No. 1 we offer a selection of Recent Introductions at Prepaid prices. 
List No. 2 consists of varieties introduced prior to 1951. These quotations 
are at Wholesale F. O. B. prices. 
In our descriptions the number following the name of the variety is the 
N. A. G. C. class number. This is followed by the name of the Originator or 
Introducer and the year of introduction. The last number is the approximate 
number of days to bloom from large bulbs. Very early planting or smaller 
sizes of bulbs will require additional time.
