INTRODUCTORY REMARKS 
My Dear Patron Friends: I am pleased to hand you this 
little booklet which is an appendix to my Annual Flower 
Book. You will find it of timely interest, for May and June 
are the months for planting out Dahlias, Gladiolus and most 
other bulbs, and sowing many seeds of Perennial and Win¬ 
dow Garden seeds. I trust you will give this booklet a care¬ 
ful reading, and compare any prices with those of my com¬ 
petitors. You will find my prices Bargain Prices, which I 
assure you that I supply the varieties true to name, and in 
Dahlias every tuber will show a live sprout, en suring growth. 
If anything is not satisfactory wnen received please return 
it at once, and I will see that the matter is adjusted, for 
your satisfaction and pleasure are more than your money. 
Throughout this booklet you will find, here and there, 
notes that will be of interest in your garden work. Read 
these over several times and fix the hints in your memory, 
so that your success may be promoted, and your flower work 
favorably rewarded. I want every patron to succeed, and 
become my friend . If you have reason to feel that you have 
not been fairly treated, complain to me, and not to your 
neighbors. I am always willing to do more than justice 
and fair dealing demand. Mistakes will sometimes occur, 
but I am always glad to correct them. Sometimes the pack¬ 
age is injured in the mail, or there is a shortage or an un¬ 
called for delay. In such cases write me. I will cheerfully 
“make good.” I aim to treat you just as though you were 
personally present. I guarantee safe arrival of your money, 
safe arrival of packages, correction of errors, and value re¬ 
ceived for your money. Could you ask for more? 
Now, make up your order. Tell your friends and get 
them to help swell your order. You will thus help to make 
the world brighter and better, and encourage the happiness 
and gracious influence resulting from flower culture. 
Among the Best. —You never err in planting Jane Cowl, 
Jersey Beauty, Kentucky, D, and Bertha Horne. They are glori¬ 
ous in the garden, last well, profuse, and fine for cutting or exhi¬ 
bition. “They are top-notchers.” You will be delighted with them.
