Here's your 1952 catalog, our 63d edition. We hope you will be pleased as you turn each 

 page and see the additions we have made. You will find many such innovations as the conven- 

 ient order blanks, a whole page of easy-to-read charts on how and when to plant seeds, as well 

 as the introduction of many new varieties, along with your old favorite flower and vegetable 

 seeds, ornamentals, insecticides, and garden supplies. Any questions you may have which 

 are not answered in this catalog our staff will be glad to try to answer for you. We feel that 

 our service must be of service to you and, therefore, invite you to discuss your own particular 

 gardening problems with us. 



Over the years, we have received favorable comment from our many friends who have 

 seen our Iris and Peony exhibits during the month of June and our Chrysanthemum exhibit 

 in October. These exhibits are unique, inasmuch as you can see and select just what varieties 

 you would like to have bloom in your garden. Watch your daily newspapers during those 

 months for the announcements of the shows. Another service we offer the gardener is our 

 weekly radio program, "Gardening with Beattie," heard every Sunday at 8:45 A.M. on Radio 

 Station WRC. Mr. Beattie attempts to anticipate and answer your gardening problems on 

 this program. 



We again invite your attention to our two convenient stores. When you are downtown, we 

 suggest that you visit our modern store at 1220 H Street Northwest; here you will find every 

 need for your garden. At our main store, 41 1 New York Avenue Northeast, you will find ample 

 parking facilities, as well as one of the largest displays of seeds and farm and garden supplies 

 in the East. We want to thank you for your past patronage, and we look forward to serving you 

 again this year with our continued aim of offering only the finest seeds and garden supplies, 

 as well as courteous, prompt service.
