 Founder of Stumpp & Walter Co. 



The greatness of the United States of America is founded sohdly 

 upon the union of our forty-eight States for the security, freedom 

 and happiness of all the people. In a like manner our two firms 

 have united to bring the combined experience, reputation, and 

 good will gained during a period of more than a century for better 

 service to the gardeners of America. 



Peter Henderson & Co., founded in 1847 by Peter Henderson, and 

 Stumpp & Waher Co., founded in 1897 by George Stumpp, have 

 contributed much toward the beautification of suburban and farm 

 properties throughout the nation. They have also helped in a large 

 measure in bringing the agricultural production and profit standards 

 to the paramount position they now enjoy, by the introduction of 

 better strains of vegetable and farm seeds for commercial and home 

 growers. The policies that have kept both houses in the forefront 

 in the seed industry will be greatly expanded in our new Com- 

 pany. The solid, deep rooted principles of honesty, fair dealings and 

 service, that are so important in a business that is built entirely 

 upon the confidence of its patrons, will always be our watchword. 



With the consolidation of the two companies, numerous savings 



will be affected which will redound to the advantage of our cus- 

 tomers. It will at all times be our first consideration to furnish our 

 customers with the highest quality seeds, bulbs, plants and garden 

 supplies, consistent with the lowest possible prices. 



Modern methods, improved facilities, and close cooperation with 

 the leading hybridizers and plant breeders throughout the world, 

 will bring to our customers the newest and most improved seeds, 

 plants and bulbs, as well as garden supplies. New departments will 

 be opened with up-to-the-minute garden furniture, gift and house- 

 hold items, to add charm and comfort to suburban and rural living. 

 In addition to the ten shopping centers now in operation, new ones 

 will be opened in localities where a definite need arises. The manage- 

 ment of both the parent companies are combining their knowledge 

 and experience to make this the most efficiently operated garden 

 supply headquarters in the country. 



We are confident that our old friends and customers will be de- 

 lighted with the benefits that they will enjoy from our consolida- 

 tion and will give us an opportunity to prove that here quality and 

 service are also combined for their benefit and enjoyment.
