THIS CATALOG 
We mailed it to you because we would like to be favored 
with some of your business. 
This catalog containing only 32 pages is an extract out of 
our regular catalog of 120 pages containing offers that it is 
impossible to crowd into an affair of only 32 pages. 
Our aim in sending you this small catalog is, to make you 
interested in our establishment to the extent that you will 
write us (a postal will do) and ask for our big catalog. 
Our big catalog is worth having because it contains offers 
of vegetable and flower seeds of either entirely new varities 
or of standard varieties of which we have pure and true to 
name seed. Also it contains LOTS of information pertaining 
to vegetable and flower growing. 
This big catalog will cost you nothing; we will be glad 
to mail it to you upon request. 
If for any reason you will be unable to send us aw^crder 
after reading our big catalog, we ask you to please hand or 
loan our catalog to your friends. Your friends may be glad 
to learn as to what kind of a seed house ours is. 
In short, we are looking for business, and any favors, 
however small, will be appreciated by us. We thank you in 
advance for any show of friendliness, and wishing you the 
best of luck, we are, 
Yours very truly, 
DE GIORGI BROS. CO. 
Who We Are — What We Do 
We are seed growers and cater to the most critical trade 
there is, namely, to market gardeners, truckers, canners and 
florists. We supply to this critical trade seeds of the highest 
quality. 
We never send out second grade seeds as some may think 
when comparing our prices with those of others. The best 
is none too good when it comes to seeds—we know it—and 
act accordingly. 
Using our seeds means to be on the safe side. Our seeds 
are reliable and favorably known since 1905—in other words, 
for twenty-nine years. 
Save Money—Save Worry 
ADDRESS YOUR ORDERS TO; 
Giorgi—Seeds 
Council Bluffs, la. 
The foremost vegetable and flower growers, among them 
the biggest establishments of national repute, depend for their 
seed supply on us. Let us get acquainted, a trial order will 
do this—and whether large or small, will be highly appreci¬ 
ated by us, promptly filled, and we hope will lead to mutu¬ 
ally profitable and increased dealings. Place your orders 
early. Seeds are not bricks. Bricks can be had at any time, 
in any quantity—the supply of clay is unlimited. Not so with 
seeds. Every year certain seeds are in short supply owing 
to poor crops. Shortages show as the season advances— 
order early while the supply is good. 
THANKS TO THE PARTY 
that mailed us a copy of “The Book.” The writer of this ar¬ 
ticle for many years was doing some hard thinking trying to 
find what makes life for so many nothing but a chain of misery. 
For years and years, in spite of reading a great many 
books and current literature, I was unable to find the answer. 
Then “The Book” was received. It is impossible to thank the 
party in any other way, as the cover with the address of the 
sender was lost. So these words of thanks are printed in the 
hope that the sender of “The Book” will read. The writer of 
this article would not sell “The Book,” if unable to get another 
copy, for ANY amount of money. 
This catalog of ours consisting of 32 pages is only a 
“sample.” We have a real catalog of 120 pages that costs 
money to print but which you can have for nothing if you 
will write and ask for a copy. 
Our big catalog describes thousands of vegetable vari¬ 
eties and thousands of flowers. It contains information 
some of snch nature that you will not find anywhere else. 
WE ARE SUFFERING 
from lack of honesty and of money. 
When we say WE, we mean the people of the United States 
and the rest of the world, a few savage peoples excepted. (As 
to Russia, who knows?) All the so-called civilized people suf¬ 
fer and all are suffering from the same causes. 
Daily the newspapers report revolts, strikes, riots, sui¬ 
cides, robberies, murders, kidnapping, more and more taxes 
and threats of war. The world is very sick. 
The trouble is blamed onto long working hours, too much 
machinery, over production, under consumption, lack of confi¬ 
dence, etc. The real trouble lays in dishonesty, affecting many 
in all classes, and in shortage of money. People as a whole 
are too shortsighted and excessively selfish. 
Because of dishonesty we find in every civilized country a 
few favored individuals with special privileges and laws made 
to serve these few privileged men to the detriment of the 
common people. 
These privileged ones as a rule pose as staunch patriots. 
They are the real rulers of the world because they control the 
supply of money. 
They are the power behind the throne, they keep millions 
of honest hard working people in almost constant misery. 
SHORTAGE OF HONEY. Very few understand the 
WORKING of money. Those that do, use their knowledge not 
as true patriots would, but for their own benefit. Money gives 
them power, they are drunk with their power and cannot see 
the danger to all, themselves included, that is steadily ap¬ 
proaching. 
You cannot exist without money. You may be in perfect 
health, you may be a person of ability, an expert gardener or 
an expert florist, yet if money was out of your reach all that 
would do you very little good. Without money your health 
would not last long. Money is as much a necessity as pure 
air and water. 
The remedy is to put money in circulation and to impress 
upon the minds of all that dishonesty does not pay. 
The Roman empire and other splendid civilizations before 
the Romans perished, because of dishonesty and money 
troubles. History may repeat itself unless a change is brought 
about without much delay. 
What to do to bring about better conditions? 
PLACE HONESTY ABOVE MONEY 
—Put Money in Circulation 
Change the way money is put in circulation now. To put 
money in circulation is the duty of financiers. They now can¬ 
not put money in circulation by making loans, because there 
are very few persons left that have the required security. Too 
many are so deep in debt that borrowing money is for them 
out of the question. In other words, there exists general 
bankruptcy. 
Honesty will rule when the people will be educated along 
a little different line. Honesty and truth has to be preached 
and placed above everything else. That will take time. To 
put money in circulation, will take almost no time, once a 
sufficient number of intelligent persons will learn how to go 
about it. 
You are a grower of vegetables or of flowers. You are 
managing a business, therefore a person of intelligence. We 
now say to you: Learn how the depression can be quickly 
swept out of the way. Read “The Book.” Author, W. H. Harvey. 
This book of 224 pages contains more vital information 
than you could gain by attending all the universities in the 
world. In the estimation of the writer of this article, W. H. 
Harvey ranks as one of the greatest men alive. When hu¬ 
manity will make another step in civilization, W. H. Harvey 
will be classed as worthy to sit next to Christ himself. 
You may not believe it, yet the truth is, that by informing 
you about the existence of “The Book” we are rendering you 
a great service. Every intelligent person seeks to know the 
CAUSE of the EFFECT. Nothing happens without a cause. 
There is a cause for the depression. The truth about the 
cause of the depression is withheld from the public. “The 
Book” will tell you the truth about the depression, the cause 
of it and the remedy for it. 
After reading “The Book,” spread the truth and help to 
bring nearer the delivery from the unbearable conditions now 
existing. Price of “The Book,” 25 cents, postpaid. 
In ordering say: Mail me a copy of “The Book,” and send 
orders direct to the publishers, Mundus Publishing Company, 
Monte Ne, Ark.
