FORWORD — For fifteen years we have studied
varieties through catalogs, magazines and visits to
large gardens and exhibits, as well as growing hun-
dreds of varieties in our own gardens. This simple
price list with its meager descriptions s the result
of our conclusion. We find little except disappoint-
ments in the long expensive descriptions usually
found in our catalogs and in this day of rapid transit
combined with the easy accesibility to flower gardens
shows and exhibitions there is little excuse for our
disappointments. The failure of words to express the
real beauty of a flower coupled with the over anxiety
of the orginator often makes descriptions mislead-
ing.

The hybridizers are bringing out many new and
wonderful creations and the debt of the public to
these plant wizards will never be paid, but there is
a set of unscrupulous growers taking advantage of
this insatiable thirst of the public for new things
and are depending upon catchy advertisements to
put it over for them.

You are welcome at our gardens at any time.
We shall have thousands of tulips in bloom in April
and May; Gladioli, in July, August and in Septem-
ber; Dahlia in September and October. Our gar-
dens are located at 901 West Main St., on the C. C. 0.
Highway. You are especially welcome on Sundays
as on these days we often hold flower shows in our
new bulb cellar.
