Another year has passed, and we present 

 our 1955 catalog. How time flies! It was 

 66 years ago (1889) that our business was 

 established here in the nation's capital. A 

 lifetime to some, yesterday to others. 



During this span of time, we have grown 

 with the community. It is you, our cus- 

 tomers, that we thank for making this 

 possible. 



1220 H Street, N.W. 

 NAtional 8-0091 



Portrayed here are our three modern locations, home of the 

 famous Capitol Park Lawn Seed, Gold Tag Fertilizer and 

 other nationally advertised and proved products. 



It is our privilege to offer you the best in gardening. Also, 

 you will find in our catalog many new features and items. . . 

 the 1955 All-America Selections, as well as many of your 

 old favorites.
