TheWorld^s Clearing House 
for Plant Specialties — 
Elliott’s of Pittsburgh 
To us,'^the intrinsic worth of plants is far ahead of their commercial value. Our growing 
plants are prepared to most fitly serve the purpose intended for them. Intimacy with 
the growing stocks reveals to us their future possibilities and limitations. If a plant is 
particularly desirable for trellises or porches, we emphasize this fact. If a shrub is de- 
sirable only in connection with certain companions, we say so frankly. Our catalogue is 
written with the intention to convey to you the finished picture which each of our plants, 
individually, will create around the home. “ Best in the World” is the title of our modest 
64 page catalogue which will serve to introduce to you the most important department 
of our business. post card will bring it.

^’ears ago we inaugurated the system of having a personal 
representative visit Holland each year early in July to 
select for our customers “ the World’s Best” in Bulbs. The 
only condition attached to our exceptionally low prices 
is that orders reach us before our man sails. By thus im- 
porting bulbs to order, and eliminating risks of loss through 
over-stocking, we can sell bulbs of the highest grade for 
less than they can be obtained elsewhere. Our bulb cata- 
logue is ready for mailing about April first. May
