DEAR GLAD FRIEND: 
We take pleasure in sending you our 1955 Catalog. Our sincere thanks 
go to our customers for the many fine orders received in past years. We have 
tried to fill all orders with clean, true to name stock and will continue to do 
so in the future. We harvested a much larger crop of young bulbs grown from 
bulblets the past year than we have grown in several years. 
For 1955 we are introducing our seedling 47-11 now named Paul Bunyan, 
a huge salmon pink on which we have had fine reports from test gardens in 
various parts of the country. A promising new glad in the 540 class. See pic- 
ture on front cover. 
In List No. 1 we offer a selection of Recent Introductions at Prepaid prices. 
List No. 2 consists of varieties introduced prior to 1952. These quotations 
are at Wholesale F. O. B. prices. 
In our descriptions the number following the name of the variety is the 
N. A. G. C. class number. This is followed by the name of the Originator or 
Introducer and the year of introduction. The last number is the approximate 
number of days to bloom from large bulbs. Very early planting or smaller 
sizes of bulbs will require additional time.
