PREER^S GARDEN BOOK 



for 1924 



EIGHTY-SIXTH ANNUAL EDITION 



IT HAS always been and will continue to be our aim to supply only the best grade of Seeds, Plants and Bulbs obtainable and by a 

 strict adherence to the broad principle of giving all purchasers the full worth of their money has our business grown from a small 

 beginning eighty-six years ago to one of the largest and most complete Seed, Plant and Bulb Establishments in the World. 



We are organized and prepared to give the same prompt service to which our patrons are accustomed, but call special attention 

 to the conditions which are peculiar to the Seed, Plant and Bulb business, in that the great bulk of the season's business is crowded into 

 a comparatively few weeks' time in the spring of the year. Under these conditions it will greatly aid in preventing undue congestion if 

 our customers will send in and take delivery of their orders as early in the season as possible. 



Many of our customers have been on our mailing list for more than half a century and our business shows an increase every year, 

 and we will spare no effort to handle every order entrusted to us, no matter how small or how large, in such a manner that will merit 

 the continued confidence of the purchaser. 



We call your special attention to the notes regarding the ordering and forwarding of Plants on page 119.
