HYBRID1SERS TROPHY 1988 selection of cultivars to catalogue for your enjoyment. It will Name also enable me to control the size of the business and personal involvement at levels compatible with other Address business commitments. Hopefully my desire to concentrate Date NUMBER PRICE TOTAL primarily on the hobby aspects of exhibiting and hybridising OF VARIETIES EACH PRICE will be realised. BULBS (C/S1 (£/$1 Of the five registered varieties from those first crosses made 25 years ago only 'Premiere' (1973) (which was the first of my seedlings to be registered) and 'Ulster Bank' (1978) are listed. Demand for 'Ulster Bank' has always exceeded supply, and 'Premiere' is still very popular. I plan to indulge in the production of catalogues which are as bright, colourful and interesting as the inevitably reduced turnover will permit. I hope that you will enjoy this and future catalogues; that you will find varieties which will compel purchase, and thereby support the issue of still brighter, better catalogues for your future enjoyment. Since retiring from full time teaching my wife, Betty (alias Elizabeth Ann) has taken a great interest in all aspects of the business and I am delighted that she will be fully involved in our little venture. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported Rathowen in the past, and it is our hope that you will not be inconvenienced by the current re- organisation and that you will find the varieties you require in one or other of the separate catalogues which the former partners will issue in future.
