Catalog time is here again and | take pleasure in presenting for your con- 
sideration my 1955 offerings. The small flowering variety list contains many new 
and worthwhile additions and the large and medium list, exclusive of smokies, 
is quite reduced, due to the fact that all except the smokies will be discontinued 
after this year. This is because the ever increasing demand for the little ones 
makes it necessary that I devote all of my time to them. The special mixture 
offerings of the small ones proved so popular last year that I am repeating them. 
And as in previous years you will find that varieties in this catalog are 
listed in three separate sections: MINIATURE and SMALL FLOWERING 
VARIED TESs oMOKIES, Sand» VARGES and MEDIUM »FLOWERING 
VARIETIES. 
This introductory would not be complete without extending my thanks to 
all of my customers. | also appreciate the many nice letters | receive each year 
telling me how my bulbs have done for them. I have tried to give the best 
possible service and send out bulbs and bulblets of the highest quality. The fact 
that well over 50% of my business comes from old customers who order year 
after year indicates their satisfaction. And may I again repeat that I like to think 
of all these people as firiends and fellow hobbyists, and not just customers, 
for after all | am as much of a hobbyist, as a grower, and enjoy the same thrills 
as my customers and shall strive to continue along this same line, and give my 
customers the same satisfaction | like to have.
