Our Trial Ground 
We conduct a fine trial ground where we try 
out hundreds of seedlings from breeders all over 
the world. The growing conditions are good, we 
give them good ordinary culture but do not 
pamper them. We feel that if they do not pan 
out under good ordinary conditions they are not 
satisfactory varieties for introduction. 
We not only evaluate them ourselves but 
many people visit the planting and we get their 
reaction to the various kinds. We find that many 
breeders are not good judges of their own seed- 
lings or do not have the time or room to grow 
enough to evaluate them. We are unprejudiced 
and look at a seedling for just what it is no matter 
who the originator is. 
So if you think you have some good seedlings 
we will be glad to try them out at no cost to 
you. We will report to you our opinions on the 
seedlings and will return the bulbs in the fall if 
you want them and if you will pay the return 
postage. 
As to the number to send, we would like 6 
large and 6 medium bulbs if you can spare them 
but if not we will take any smaller amount. But 
do not send any till you have bloomed them 3 
years or more and do not send us any bulblets.
