INTRODUCTORY 
We wish to thank our customers for their generous patronage and 
cooperation, which makes it possible for us to again issue this list of 
rare and beautiful flowering-plants, at prices within the reach of all. 
We hope to continue to merit your confidence, and promise you even 
better plants and service during the coming season. 
INSTRUCTIONS 
You will greatly assist us in giving you better service if you will send 
your order early, with instructions as to just when you would like your 
plants shipped. With our method of packing, plants can be successfully 
shipped to any part of North America or Hawaii. We do not substitute 
without your permission. All mistakes cheerfully adjusted. One dozen 
plants of one kind for the price of eight. All plants sent postpaid to any 
address in the United States. Make remittance payable to E. B. Drake, 
Lakebay, Wash. 
If you are interested in Natives of Idaho, write Mr. D. H. Snowberger, 
at Payette, Idaho, for his Catalog. Please mention us when writing. 
The following offer proved so popular last year that we feel obliged to 
make it again this year. 
If you would like something different and hesitate to order collections 
because you fear you will get plants which you already have, send us 
$1. with a list, giving the names (Latin if possible) of all the plants you 
are now growing, and we will send you one dozen different named plants, 
and will guarantee not to duplicate anything that you have correctly 
named. You may also specify any special purpose you wish the plants 
for, and we will endeavor to send plants for that purpose.
