IN CLOSING 
Well here we are—done at last. It has been quite a task 
to write this catalogue, it takes lots of painstaking work. 
To be comprehensive, charming, critical and fair necessitates 
much reference to notes. Classification of class, color, size, 
blooming dates, etc. must all be checked. “he hardest part 
of all is to give an unbiased expression of our own opinion. 
We have tried our utmost to give you results as we see them 
in our own and neighboring gardens, and to check these with 
what we see at the shows. Our aim is to help you select the 
best varieties we can. Comments in this catalogue are from 
our own observations. 
We hope you have enjoyed reading this catalogue and 
that you can get real value out of it. Your past business has 
been very much appreciated as were your charming letters. 
We hope for a further continuation of your patronage.
