NEW, RARE AND TIME-TESTED 



Trees, Plants, Shrubs, Etcj 



FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD 



Each year we offer an increased number 

 plants. This is due to our being continually oi 

 the lookout for the new discoveries and produc 

 tions by hybridists in all parts of the v/orld, henc€ 

 the above caption to this page. We also have to^ 

 omit some of our offerings due to our previous 

 sales or for some other reason, however, we dO|i 

 try to keep our offerings as near up-to-date as w€ 

 possibly can. 



If you ar$ interested in going through this Catoi 

 log, I know you will realize the task of the one wh< 

 has the responsibility of getting a collection 

 this size together and of propagating the plants 

 so that we may have sufficient quantity to oiU 

 for sale. While this requires a lot of study, effoi 

 and time there is a" corresponding amount of satij 

 faction and pleasure,' as it. is a work we love. -'.^ 



You folks who send in your orders have a vei 

 vital part in our being able io offer such a cdllec 

 tion of stock as we do. Without your orders • wi 

 would not have the money to rneet.the expenses 

 of "carrying on." For this help we most sincerely 

 thank you and pledge our continued effort in 

 helping make it possible, for you to secure these 

 "New, Rare and Time-Tested Plants" at reason- 

 able prices.
