A splendid little beauty. Lei me 
compliment you on sending out a 
real catalogue. A treatise of great 
value to the professional as well as 
the amateur. 
Transforms the usual uninteresting 
seed catalogue into an interesting and 
instructive booh — replete with informa- 
tion and the selection of seeds, bulbs 
and plants is a most dependable 
one. — From a gardener of 30 years’ 
experience. 
It is a bold and marhed departure 
from the established custom. Pictures 
as given reveal nothing and the usual 
list mahes one’s head turn around. 
Keep up the good worh. 
Your beautiful and comprehensive 
catalogue has been a real joy to me. 
Within its covers I have discovered 
information that will be of inesti- 
mable help. The cultural hints mean 
far more to me than any illustrations. 
Thanh 1/0“ /o'" the best of its h'vid that 
has been my luch to possess. 
Grapes That W ill 
Grow Anywhere 
Grapevines can be grown in a small 
yard, or garden — you don’t need a big 
place. Train them on the fence, over 
the porch, or on a trellis beside the walk. 
Six plants will give plenty of fruit — and 
some grape juice besides. The best 
garden varieties are: — 
Concord, black; early 
Lutie, red; very early 
Niagara, white; midseason 
Two big two-year-old plants 
Of each variety, delivered, for 
This is an extraordinary offer for such 
well-developed vines. They were grown 
especially for this collection, and the 
offer will not be repeated. 
W’e are Grapevine specialists. Have 
grown none but the best for fifty years. 
Our Grapevine catalogue tells about 
Grapes and other small fruits. With 
this book as a guide you can select, 
plant and grow small fruits with per- 
fect ease. Send for a copy.
