MEMO TO GARDEN CLUB PRESIDENTS: 
Many Garden Clubs have already enjoyed visiting our greenhouses, 
and we welcome any of you who would like to plan such a trip. Some 
groups have made reservations in advance for luncheon at the charming 
General Lyon Inn here in Eastford, and then toured our greenhouses in 
the afternoon. 
If you contact us in advance we can advise you of the best time for a 
good display. 
We also have a few kodachrome slides, 2’’x2’’, which we will loan for 
use at your club meetings. There is a minimum handling charge of $2.00. 
If your club is interested in buying a substantial quantity of Gloxinia 
tubers write us asking about our special Garden Club discount. 
If you have members particularly interested in African Violets they 
might be interested to know that we grow over 170 varieties which we 
sell at the greenhouse.
