SECRET VARIETIES 
_ GET TWO RHIZOMES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE 
_ Last year my SECRET VARIETY game proved to be by 
_far the most popular contest | have ever presented, partly 
because everyone can win, and because the cash savings 
are so great as to be almost unbelievable. | am, therefore, 
greatly expanding this favorite feature this year. 
In this catalog, for you to find, are 19 hidden Secret 
-Warieties and one announced one, as explained below, 
making a total of 20. The hidden Secret varieties are to be 
identified by the fact that one word (of 2 letters or more) in 
the description has only the last letter as a capital letter.

and other helpful material in this catalog, | have put one 
_ Of the words with only a final capital in a portion of the text 
that is not in any variety description. If you find this, you 
get two rhizomes of PARADISE PINK, last year’s MOST 
OUTSTANDING VARIETY, for the price of one. While 
this is a Secret Variety, it is a special one, and, unlike the 
others, is available in this way only if you give after the 
_variety name on your order the word you have found else- 
where in this catalog with only the last letter capitalized.”
