Now, If Ever, Get Guaranteed Stock, 

 From a Firm in Which You Have Faith 



In no other line we know is it so important to deal 

 with a firm which has earned a good reputation. When 

 you purchase Xursen,- Stock, you buy but the begin- 

 ning of things. The Flowers, Fruits, and Full Grown 

 Plants from seeds or roots develop later, after you have 

 spent your time and thought in caring for them. Then 

 it is that qualit\- counts, and the little more which you 

 paid at the beginning sinks into insignificance as com- 

 pared with the increased satisfaction >-ou feel from a 

 superior product. 



So it pa\s to prove \'our firm. This we invite. We 

 believe v.e are right with our aim — our customer's 

 satisfaction. 



We ha\e hitched our reputation to a Star, and on 

 e%er\- star-sized Rose which >ou bu\' from us, you will 

 find fastened our copyrighted celluloid star, with the 

 name of the Rose on it, as your make-good guarantee. 

 The guarantee is as follows: Ever\' Rose must be in 

 good condition when received, and, further (and no 

 other firm we know stands back of their Roses like 

 this), we guarantee every Rose to bloom the first bloom- 

 ing period after planting (you to protect from insects 

 and severe winters). If they do not bloom, you return 

 the Star and get vour mone\- back. 



A Guarantee depends, not so much upon what is 

 said, as upon who says it. This firm is backed by more 

 than fifty years' experience, the training of two gene- 

 rations, and over twenty years of first-hand active 

 stud>' and whole-time participation on the part of the 

 present principals. These are the factors which figure 

 in tlie product that this firm and this book offer you. 



The awards from leading National and international 

 exhibitions on two continents give evidence of our 

 leadership in our line. Our Vice-President is undoubt- 

 edly the leading hybridizer of Cannas in the world. 



We maintain active affiliation in the National as 

 well as state horticultural organizations, especially in 

 the American Rose Society. 



We point with especial happiness to the large pro- 

 portion of our helpers who, except for War Service, 

 have been for years a part of our business family. 

 Without these faithful helpers, we could not maintain 

 the customer confidence which we now enjoy. These 

 facts form the foundation upon which we should like, 

 in our dealings with you, to raise the structure of 

 mutual confidence. In spite of its thorns we think we 

 have the most fascinating business on earth. Please 

 let us hear from you early.
