502 LIBERTY AVENUE 



IT IS no longer necessary to step around the corner to 

 414 Ferry Street to get the best bulbs and seeds plus 

 prompt and courteous service. We are now firmly 

 established in our new and larger store at 502 Liberty 

 Avenue, convenient to parking stations, markets and 

 downtown department stores. 



We wish at this time to thank our many friends and 

 customers for their generous patronage, which has made 

 this move possible, as well as necessary, and to assure 

 them of the same high-quality seeds, bulbs and service, 

 as heretofore. Even if you are not buying bulbs this fall, 

 come and see our new store; we are always glad to wel- 

 come you whether you buy or not.
