Notes on Porter's Flowering Judas This title had a split run in the Modern Library. It was part of the series in the years 1940 - 1949 under series number 88, and then again 1953 - 1970 under series number 284. In an e-mail to the Modern Library mailing list (March 10, 2007 12:00:39 PM PST), Barry Neavill said (in part): "When Harcourt, Brace decided in 1948 to launch its own hardbound reprint series, Harbrace Modern Classics, the firm served notice that it was terminating the reprint contracts for all of its titles in the ML. ... At that time the ML had 4,400 copies of Flowering Judas in stock. Klopfer estimated that it would take twelve months for the stock to sell out .... The ML edition was officially discontinued in fall 1950. Harcourt, Brace eventually decided not to include Flowering Judas in Harbrace Modern Classics and allowed it back into the ML in spring 1953... Copies of the 1946 printing have been seen in the spring 1953 jacket."
