Greetings and Best Wishes to 
Our Friends Everywhere. 
We are truly grateful that 1954 was an unusually good 
year for Foley Gardens. We hope with all our hearts it was a 
year of joy, prosperity and good health for everyone everywhere. 
Your orders were larger and we filled many more of them 
from old and new friends and customers than in any previous 
year. Yes, indeed, we are grateful and thank you for your 
confidence and trust. We are all the more determined to con- 
tinue to supply you with quality bulbs from which you are sure 
to have blooms of amazing beauty. 
The forces of nature in this area combined to give us a 
most favorable growing season for both flowers and_ bulbs. 
Our flowers were in demand from Florists in distant cities. 
Letters from customers all over the U.S. expressed delight and 
satisfaction with blooms they grew from Foley Garden bulbs. 
We received many nice thank you letters from old and 
new customers who were so happily surprised because we 
were so generous in filling their orders. This policy will be con- 
tinued throughout 1955. Our bulb crop is State Inspected both 
in field and storage. All stock we ship will meet the standard 
of good quality of the Federal Trade Commission. 
This is our 21st year of growing gladiolus and other bulbs. 
This catalog is our llth. We prize and greatly value your 
goodwill and friendship and acknowledge our great responsi- 
bility of supplying you with bulbs, which will produce spec- 
tacular blooms—blooms that will be the “pride and joy of 
the most discriminating growers and gardners. 
I am sure you will join with us in giving thanks that there 
is now no conflict involving our service men and women. We 
fervently hope and pray for a lasting peace and that you may 
enjoy the blessings of a happy 1955—a year of good health and 
prosperity. A year that will richly reward you with flowers of 
all kinds to add cheer and beauty to your garden and home. 
Sincerely, 
FOLEY GARDENS
