Please Read Before Ordering 



The matter of buying your plants may look like a small matter, but it is an im- 
portant job because so much depends upon the right kind of plants. No matter how 
valuable: your land—no matter how much you weed, dig, hoe or cultivate—no matter 
how deep you plow—how much you dise and harrow or rake your garden—no matter 
how much the sun shines, or how much rain you get—or how much you irrigate or 
water your garden—no matter how ideal the weather conditions may be or how much 
you fertilize or manure your soil—and every one of these things represent real money 
—they are all lost, all wasted—all your efforts count for nothing if in the first place 
you do not have the right kind of plants or other stock to put in the soil.
