AN OPEN LETTER 
TO OUR MANY FRIENDS 
We appreciate the many letters we receive from the many of our 
satisfied customers, We invite you all to visit our planting at any 
time. Bloom time is best, of course. The varieties are labeled plainly 
and easily identified. If you are a photographer, you can get a 
picture of a RAINBOW any time — day or nite. We suggest you 
use flash at nite. When you do come, inquire at the home farm for 
location. We make a practice to plant our glads on new land every 
season and use several farms in the vicinity. The most convenient 
location in 1955 is on Vosburg Road, near GENTS AFRICAN 
VIOLETS (the introducers of Pink Cheer and many others). You are 
assured of a real treat. 
We do have an apology to offer this year. Before we had the 
statistical information on the bulb situation we had oversold 
heavily, and do not have the quantities to offer this season. Large 
bulbs will be definitely in short supply this season so order early, 
regardless from whom you may purchase, If you are in the vicinity 
of Rochester or Lima do try and see the Glad shows. We exhibit 
and would be very glad to meet you. Our display field is only 20 
minutes drive from the Museum of Arts and Sciences, where the 
Genesee Valley sponsored glad show is held. We will be looking 
for you. 
May you have a successful growing and showing season, 
GLADFULLY Yours, 
D. M. Grineff
