of receiving your plants in first class condition.

HIGH GRADE PLANTS 
At Reasonable Prices 
A LETTER received recently from a gardener in Ohio 
who had received our catalog asked us a question. 
He said: ‘Your catalog received and the prices please 
me very much. Can it be that these are large plants that will 
bloom this year? I will want to send an order if they are large 
but I do not want small seedlings.” 
We wrote him (what we had seemingly not made clear in 
our previous catalog) that the plants we listed were the finest 
that could be grown anywhere. They are strong and thrifty 
as they are grown in deep rich loam with an irrigation sys¬ 
tem to tide them over dry periods and always plenty of bright 
sunshine for their fullest development. 
The reason we can make such unusually low prices is 
because we are both grower and retailer of our plants and 
also because we use the most efficient methods from sowing 
the seed and taking cuttings to filling your orders. 
Upon receiving their orders many of our customers have 
written us praising the plants sent them. Below is a typical 
letter received last fall concerning an order: 
Racine, Wis., Oct., 1933 
Dear Sir: 
Received my plants this morning and am very much 
pleased with them. I set them out and was surprised to find 
such big healthy plants for so reasonable a price. 
I have selected a few more that were in your new catalog. 
Please send these at once by Parcel Post. I hope you will send 
these plants soon. I will send for some others in the spring. 
Mrs. W. H. Y.
