Gentleman: 
We take pleasure in presenting herewith, our 1934 Contract and General 
Trade List, In which we feel sure you will find many items of special 
Interest. 
We wish to call your attention especially to the many novelty items 
we are offering this year. We urge you to give these your careful 
consideration for next year’s catalog. Your attention is also direct¬ 
ed to the increased number of illustrations we are using in this list. 
The illustrations, as you will note, are in a size which can be used 
in your own catalogs. The descriptive matter also was written so 
that it may be adapted to retail catalog use. We will be most pleased 
to receive your comments as to ways in which we can improve our style 
of describing or method of Illustrating these new flowers so they will 
be most helpful to you. 
Regarding our new double Nasturtiums, Scarlet Gleam and Gleam Hybrids, 
we wish to advise that we will be ready to fill orders for seeds in 
September, after harvest of this year’s crop. The production of a 
novelty cannot be accomplished in a season, but requires the mellow¬ 
ing Influence of time running its natural course in order to properly 
mature the seeds and be assured of a product worthy of the painstak¬ 
ing care and thought that have gone into its production. 
In order to better illustrate the glorious range of colors in the 
Gleam Hybrids we are preparing a lithographed hanger which will be 
mailed to you later in the season to arrive just before the seed is 
ready. This hanger is even more beautifully done than the Dahlia 
Flowered Zinnia hanger we sent out recently, a faithful reproduction 
of the most striking flower of the season. 
Indications are that flower seeds this yeai* will be in very great 
demand, and we urgently advise that you send us your orders as soon 
as possible so we will be sure to plant sufficient acreage to care 
for your requirements. The placing of early contracts is a great 
help to all concerned. We trust the present friendly relations of 
our two firms may continue for many years. 
Yours very truly, 
BODGER SEEDS, LTD.
