Acknowledgments

I am most grateful to all the greenhouse owners who shared their experiences with me. Many are mentioned by name in the pages of this book, and if the book were longer it would, indeed, carry scores of other names—growers for profit who want to share their experiences with other kindred souls.

Special thank-yous go to these gardeners and garden writers who read and checked parts of the manuscript: Mr. Norman A. Morris, Director, National Landscape Institute, Los Angeles; Rachel Snyder and Elvin McDonald, Editors of Flower and Garden Magazine; Ted Pouliot, designer for Bachman's, Minne­apolis, Minnesota; Art Olmscheid, also of Minneapolis; Armyn Spies, Belleville, Illinois; Dr. S. Reed and Robert McLeister, University of Minnesota. And Lula Egan Quinlan, garden writer from Tulsa, Oklahoma, deserves a most special thank you for introducing me to so many of the glasshouse growers in that city.

These commercial dealers helped supply data for this book: George W. Park, Park Seed Company, Greenwood, South Caro­lina; Mr. A. B. Graf, Julius Roehrs Company, Rutherford, New Jersey; Albert Buell, Eastford, Connecticut; Antonelli Brothers, Santa Cruz, California; W. Atlee Burpee Company, Phila­delphia; Northrup King and Company, Minneapolis; C. A. Cruickshank, Toronto, Canada; The House of Flowers, Binghamton, New York; Lakemont Gardens, Winter Park, Florida; Wilson Brothers, Roachdale, Indiana; George J. Ball Seed Com­pany and Vaughn's Seed Company of Chicago.

Many greenhouse manufacturers have also supplied me with information and for this I thank them.

I am grateful, too, to my sister, Phyllis Moe, who helped in the final stages of manuscript preparation, and to my immedi­ate family who took over some of the work of tending my plants while I was engrossed in research and the writing of this book.

And I offer my gratitude for the editorial assistance of Herbert C. Bardes of Morris Plains, New Jersey, who filled out, trimmed down, and tied up the loose ends of the manuscript.
