Horticulture in the past few years has made great strides in America. 
The many books written on the subject and the illustrated periodicals have 
increased the love for nature both in the young and old. We are keeping 
pace with this growth, and offering to our friends through our up-to-date 
Garden Book stock that can be depended upon in description, illustration 
and reliability. Our representatives make annual trips to Europe to visit 
and purchase of the leading establishments and specialists there, and our 
travelers on this side advise us of all progress being made from the Atlantic to 
the Pacific. Our trial grounds prove the value of any Novelty or improved 
types that we are eager to put into your hands if they are suited to this 
country, with its varied climatic conditions. 
We solicit the orders of all buyers, small or large, especially of those who 
do their own gardening and appreciate values. Our organization is made 
up of only practical men, who place themselves in the buyer’s position to 
anticipate your wants not always expressed in an order, and to furnish va- 
rieties that promise results to an intelligent cultivator. 
This, our Garden Book, has grown from a four-page leaflet in 1838 until 
now it is a book of 224 pages, containing what is undoubtedly the most 
complete offering of Horticultural needs under one cover in any country. 
Much of the improvements made in this book, from time to time, are the 
result of suggestions by our customers, to whom we tender our sincere 
thanks, and we are always ready to give careful consideration to further 
suggestions fcr its improvement. We have changed the arrangement of the 
book somewhat this season by placing the Novelties and Specialties 
directly in front of the General List of each department, instead of all to- 
gether as heretofore; the general arrangement now being as follows: 
Vegetable Seeds.

we live up to the precept.
