New Novelties for 1954 
Each year, we select a number of what we believe to be the best of the introduc- 
tions from other growers. All of those selected have noteworthy recommendations. We 
have seen most of them in gardens or shows during the past year and many of them 
also come with the recommendation of friends who have observed them growing for as 
much as three years. Their Trial Ground reports and show winnings have also been 
considered in the making of the selections.
