  Quality 
  is 
  the 
  most 
  important 
  single 
  factor 
  that 
  makes 
  It 
  possible 
  for 
  the 
  

   I 
  lorlst 
  to 
  sell 
  his 
  goods 
  at 
  a 
  profit. 
  All 
  successful 
  florists 
  realize 
  the 
  significance 
  

   of 
  this 
  fact. 
  They 
  know 
  that 
  quality 
  goods 
  will 
  sell 
  readily 
  at 
  a 
  good 
  profit 
  when 
  

  

  ordinary 
  goods 
  cannot 
  be 
  moved 
  at 
  any 
  price. 
  

  

  To 
  be 
  certain 
  of 
  quality 
  the 
  florist 
  must 
  select 
  as 
  his 
  source 
  of 
  supply 
  a 
  concern 
  

   which 
  he 
  knows 
  handles 
  quality 
  Seeds, 
  Plants, 
  and 
  Bulbs. 
  The 
  fact 
  that 
  an 
  appre- 
  

   ciable 
  number 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  successful 
  florists 
  are 
  Dreer 
  customers 
  is 
  the 
  best 
  proof 
  

   as 
  to 
  Dreer 
  Quality. 
  Furthermore, 
  our 
  close 
  association 
  with 
  many 
  leading 
  florists 
  

   places 
  us 
  in 
  a 
  position 
  where 
  we 
  thoroughly 
  understand 
  their 
  problems 
  and 
  require- 
  

   ments. 
  • 
  / 
  

  

  It 
  always 
  has 
  been 
  our 
  aim 
  to 
  supply 
  the 
  best 
  that 
  can 
  be 
  grown 
  and 
  we 
  pride 
  

   ourselves 
  on 
  the 
  quality 
  of 
  Dreer's 
  Seeds, 
  Plants, 
  and 
  Bulbs 
  which 
  we 
  know 
  will 
  

   give 
  the 
  kind 
  of 
  results 
  every 
  florist 
  is 
  eager 
  to 
  secure. 
  While 
  superior 
  quality 
  

   necessitates 
  and 
  deserves 
  a 
  better 
  price 
  the 
  difference 
  in 
  cost 
  as 
  compared 
  with 
  

   average 
  merchandise 
  is 
  almost 
  negligible, 
  as 
  after 
  all 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  cost 
  but 
  the 
  

   mark-up 
  between 
  the 
  cost 
  and 
  the 
  sales 
  price 
  that 
  gives 
  the 
  florist 
  his 
  margin 
  of 
  

   profit. 
  Yet 
  Dreer's 
  prices 
  are 
  distinctly 
  reasonable. 
  How 
  could 
  the 
  Dreer 
  business 
  

   nave 
  grown 
  to 
  its 
  present 
  size 
  If 
  this 
  was 
  not 
  its 
  policy? 
  The 
  fact 
  that 
  we 
  are 
  

   in 
  constant 
  touch 
  with 
  the 
  leading 
  grower-specialists 
  throughout 
  the 
  world 
  places 
  

   us 
  in 
  a 
  position 
  to 
  supply 
  strains 
  of 
  superior 
  merit.
