A Word of Greeting From the Managers: 



Isaac Hoksbergen Martir J. De Jong 



Pella, Iowa, January 1, 1928. 



To our Friends and Customers: 



We again have the pleasure of presenting to you our annual Seed 

 Catalog. 



First of all we want to thank you for past favors, and we wish to 

 assure you that we appreciate the business that has been given us dur- 

 ing the past year. We had a wonderful increase in our seed business 

 in 1927, which we feel came to us through a feeling of satisfaction on 

 the part of our customers, causing them to give us a boost among their 

 friends, thus helping our business to prosper. 



Seed crops this year are about normal, and we are still holding 

 our seeds at the lowest price possible, most of them selling at five cents 

 per package. We are doing everything in our power to give you the best 

 of seeds this year, and at the time of writing this we are engaged in 

 testing all seeds that are to be packed, so that we may be sure all sent 

 out will grow. "Fresh Tested Seeds" has been our motto from the be- 

 ginning, and we want to keep up our record of selling only the best. 



We shall certainly be pleased to have your orders, whether they 

 are large or small. In either case we shall give them all the best of our 

 attention. 



Wishing you all a prosperous year, we remain, 



Sincerely yours, 



Martin J. De Jong, 

 DE JONG FLORAL & SEED CO.
