To Our Good Friends and Customers: 
As you leaf thru this catalog, you will note the absence of some items 
we've listed in the past. We are dropping many of the small things we 
formerly grew, in order to specialize in the two things we like best, Minia- 
ture Daffodils and small-flowered Gladiolus. 
This is an age of specialization. Each year gardening grows more 
complicated, with new diseases and new bugs and all the remedies to 
combat them, taking up more and more time, and requiring a prodigious 
amount of knowledge. 
So, in common with the trend, we've decided to specialize, thereby 
devoting all our time and knowledge to a few items. We feel that we can 
do a much better job by learning all we possibly can about a few items, 
rather than picking up a smattering of information about a lot of things. 
And so, in the future, we will list Miniature and Baby Gladiolus— 
in fact, all types of small glads, including species and hardies, when we 
can get them—and Miniature Daffodils. 
We will continue to list Hardy Cyclamen, for we’re sure they will 
have a real future as they become better known. But we do not grow them 
ourselves, but buy our bulbs from the grower and hybridizer, Edgar L. 
Kline, who has made a specialty of them over the past ten years. 
7 We hope you will continue to favor us with your orders. And we 
will always be ready to serve you to the very best of our ability.
