FOREWORD 
We appreciate the interest that growers, exhibitors, and hybridizers 
have taken in our introductions. They are listed by a number of cat- 
alogers and are winning many blue ribbons at the shows. It is our 
sincere endeavor to produce the best for exhibition and commercial 
work. Most of our varieties are particularly good for hybridizing: 
August Moon, Birch Red, Black Cherry, Bonnie Lass, Bronze King, 
Garden Gold, Garnet Glow and Grapewine have all given excellent 
seedlings. 
We have propagated most of our varieties by selecticn for several 
years, and this selected stock is disseminated when available. Our 
fields and bulbs are inspected by the N. Y. State Dept. of Agriculture. 
Bulbs are washed and quickly dried after digging, and all are dusted 
with DDT after cleaning. We take great care to furnish the cleanest, 
healthiest stock possible. We will replace or make an adjustment on 
any stock found not true to name. 
Kodachromes of our glads, seedlings and other flowers are available to 
groups for meetings, etc. There is no charge except for return post- 
age and insurance. Send your requests in early.
