Time Tested 

 Varieties 



VARIETIES that have won their place high in the favor o£ flower lovers, 

 anil held it against all comers, season after season. 



Held it from the tirst, because of their gorgeous hloom lieauty. and held 

 it to the la.st, hecause every one had several .years' critical test before we 

 luit it on the market, to the end that when we did put it on the market, it 

 would do what was expected of it. 



What we say about them might be biased; what others say, is not. We 

 are continually 'getting such letters as this: 



"I decided to buy my (.'annas ot you if prices were satisfactory, which 

 they are, as the finest e'iinnas I have seen growing in this city or Omaha, 

 were bought of your coinpany. .Tames H. McMullen. The McMullen Nursery, 

 Council Hluffs, Iowa." 



This is the kind of business that is good for business. Get your share 

 of it. 



Below we have classified our standard trade Canuas. as to color and size. 



Use the alphabetical column at the right for ordering. .Mark in the 

 space opposite each variety how many you will want. Then ,1ust sign your 

 name at the bottom, tear off and return to us.
