MISS C. H. LIPPINCOTT. 
January 1st, 1910. 
IN A NEW HOME- AND WHY. 
Did you ever try to be in two places at 
once? 
We who love flowers should not travel 
the strenuous pace — it was never even a 
distant cousin to the esthetic life. 
Let those who will, abide in the cities — 
and let the flowers help to glorify the 
cities all they can — give them a chance 
and they will do it. Still, the city flower 
lot and window box are no comparison to 
the results that can be achieved near to 
Nature's heart, in the country town — so 
here we are — mother, sister and all, in 
this lovely little town on the border of a 
beautiful lake, just an hour’s ride from 
Minneapolis. 
We can serve you just as promptly here, and I am needed here so much, that I find it 
far more convenient and pleasant to be right on the ground ALL the time, thus enab- 
ling me to supervise every department of this truly wonderful seed business which has 
multiplied like the very seeds themselves, until we found it really necessary to nestle 
right among the farms. 
The item of most interest to oar patrons, however, is that we can actually give better 
values at oar moderate prices, here in Hudson, where expenses are much less than in a 
large city. This means seeds of better quality in the Lippincott envelopes and more 
luxuriant flowers in your gardens. What matter, then, the first cost? BETTER five 
cents, or even fifteen, for QUALITY. 
Here, then, are we, all moved and settled, with your last year's letters right before 
us in convenient up-to-date files; but last year's letters are lonely — they want the 
company of this year’s letters and mother is looking, every day, as she opens each 
letter, for YOUR handwriting. 
So let us hear from you early, that you may get an early start with your seedlings 
and garden and so realize, to the full, on your investment of time — the money cost is 
so small in proportion to the pleasure and beauty derived, that it is hardly to be con- 
sidered. 
The miracle of the flowers is always wonderful — let it be greater than ever this year, 
for the pleasure and satisfaction of all who may and will behold. 
Yours for the best, 
CARRIE H. LIPPINCOTT.
