1930 GREETINGS - 1930 
It is with pleasure that I take my pen in hand to write greetings for the 
coming year. It is the only time I get to talk to all of you at one time and 
I am glad of the opportunity to thank you all for your liberal patronage 
and your kind words for my plants and service and to tell you about the 
fine lot of plants I have grown for this season. 
The past year has been favorable and I also have given them extra 
care, sparing neither time or expense, to have them nice with the result I 
have the finest lot of plants I have had for some years; good stocky plants 
with long fibrous roots that will enable them to live and grow and produce 
results which is what we are all looking for. 
It is not only essential to have good plants, with full count, but they 
must also be carefully packed in damp moss so they will carry safely and 
in packing thousands of orders we have learned how to pack them and 
guarantee them to reach you in good condition in fact many of my customers 
write saying best packed plants they ever received. 
This little book is my only salesman and I have tried to make it depend- 
able, giving honest descriptions, so you will know about what each variety 
will do and also enable you to better select the variety that is best suited 
for your conditions. I have tried and hope I have succeeded in making it 
interesting and that it will prove to be a helpful visitor and in asking you, 
thru it, for your patronage again this year I pledge to give you good healthy, 
true to name plants packed so they will reach you in good condition. To 
those who have never dealt with me I ask a trial, confident that my plants 
and service will please you. I am placing an order blank, for your con- 
venience, right after the price list and also enclosing self addressed envelope 
which requires no stamp, just fill in order blank and enclose P. O. or Ex- 
press Money Order or Check and drop in the mail box and I'll pay the post- 
age. 
Again thanking you and wishing you all health, happiness and prosperity 
thru the coming year, I remain, 
Very sincerely yours, 
M. S. PRYOR.
