The Florists' Review 



JVLT 29. 1916. 



It is this kind of money that makes 

 4 town prosperous. 



-•"Here are a few figures of interest. 

 The catalogue takes three to four car- 

 loads of paper for a single issue. Seed 

 Sense, the magazine published by the 

 company, has the largest circulation of 

 any paper of any kind published in 

 this state. The private printing plant 

 where all the printing for the firm is 

 done is the largest and best equipped 

 printing office between Des Moines, St. 

 Joe and Council Bluffs, except one at 

 Bed Oak. 



"One small it^m of the firm's an- 

 nual business is almost $10,000 worth 

 of garden implements, wheel-hoes and 

 garden drills. The business of thd 

 nursery department amounted to over 

 $36,000 for the year. The small garden 

 seeds amounted to $101,819. 



"The business is exclusively retail 

 mail order direct with the planter. The 

 firnl has no agents, no travelers, does 

 not sell to dealers, and does not put 

 out any seeds on commission. 



"An average of forty-eight orders is 

 received to every 100 catalogues sent 

 out, which is probably the highest aver- 

 age in the entire seed business."

 sale Summer and Fall Catalogue for Market Gar-

 minating pans, and specialties to order." At 

 the end are tables showing the approximate 

 weights of various styles of pots. The dates on 

 the catalogue, 1765-1015, give a hint of the fact 

 that the company is celebrating the one hundred

NOTK— One ounce of Consolidation Mixture will produce easily 20,000 plants, and 

 figuring an extremely low price of Ic each in the spring, you have a profit of $197.00 

 on just one ounce; enough seed for 80,000 plants costs you only $10.00; if you wish to 

 sell, say one-half your plants this fall at about $3.00 per 1000- a Review ad will do 

 the work— leaving you a nice little profit and with $400.00 worth of plants for spring 

 sales. Does this look attractive?
