MISS C H. LIPPINCOTT. 



January 1st, 1910. 



IN A NEW HOME- AND WHY. 



Did you ever try to be in two places at 

 once? 



We who love Rowers should not travel 

 the strenuous pace it was never even a 

 distant cousin to the esthetic life. 



Let those who will, abide in the cities — 

 and let the flowers help to glorify the 

 cities all they can— give them a chance 

 and they will do it. Still, the city flower 

 lot and window box are no comparison to 

 the results that can be achieved near to 

 Nature's heart, in the country town — so 

 here we are — mother, sister and all, in 

 this lovely little town on the border of a 

 beautiful lake, just an hoar's ride from 

 Minneapolis. 



We can serve you just as promptly here, and I am needed here so much, that I find it 

 far more convenient and pleasant to be right on the ground ALL the time, thus enab- 

 ling me to supervise every department of this truly wonderful seed business which has 

 multiplied like the very seeds themselves, until we found it really necessary to nestle 

 right among the farms. 



The item of most interest to our patrons, however, is that we can actually give better 

 values at our moderate prices, here in Hudson, where expenses are much less than in a 

 large city. This means seeds of better quality in the Lippincott envelopes and more 

 luxuriant (lowers in your gardens. What matter, then, the first cost? BETTER five 

 cents, or even fifteen, for QUALITY. 



Here, then, are we, all moved and settled, with your last year's letters right before 

 us in convenient up-to-date Hies; but last year's letters are lonely — they want the 

 company of this year's letters and mother is looking, every day, as she opens each 

 letter, for YOUR handwriting. 



So let us hear from you early, that you may get an early start with your seedlings 

 and garden and so realize, to the full, on your investment of time — the money cost is 

 so small in proportion to the pleasure and beauty derived, that it is hardly to be con- 

 sidered. 



The miracle of the flowers is always wonderful — let it be greater than ever this year, 

 for the pleasure and satisfaction of alt who may and will behold. 



Yours for the best, 



CARRIE H. LIPPINCOTT.
