Yes, Sister, I buy only of Park; his seeds 
always grow and yield the finest flowers. 
I 3* *T R 0>» U C TORY 
EAR Patron-friends: By the permission of kind Providence I have the pleasure of 
greeting you once more at the threshold of another New Year. I say pleasure advisedly, 
for I feel grateful and happy on account ot the hearty support you have given me the 
past year, and the friendly and encouraging letters that have come to me daily, often 
accompanied by liberal orders. I appreciate and am thankful to you all for your earn¬ 
est efforts to promote my welfare and increased trade among your flower-loving friends. I realize 
that my success in business is largely due to these efforts, and I enter into this New Year with 
increased energy and renewed zeal in the delightful vocation that has now been mine for more 
than two generations. 
My friends, your faithfulness and loyalty in the past is a cogent inspiration to me to treat 
you better and more generously, if possible, in the future than 
I have done heretofore. It is true I have made some mistakes, 
for “to err is human;” but my errors were not intentional, and 
when they occurred I have always been ready and anxious to 
correct them. I want to so deal with every patron as to secure 
land merit his or her confidence. I try to do an honest business, 
and am willing always to do more than justice and fair dealing 
demand. I want to earn the friendship as well as the confidence 
of everyone who entrusts me with an order. I aim to send out 
seeds of only the new crop, such as will be sure to grow under 
favorable conditions. I send with every package a little booklet 
of “Hints” telling just how to sow, as also giving brief after- 
treatment. Still more, I guarantee all my seeds, and will replace 
such as fail, if my cultural directions are heeded and a full and 
careful report is sent me. 
Another important element in my business system is to sell 
only seeds of the finest quality and true to name. This is even 
more needful than seeds of good vitality for the disappointment 
comes after weeks of labor and care have been spent in culture. All of my seeds are obtained of 
reliable growers, and of the best seeds they produce. They can, therefore, be relied upon to yield 
the best results. They will not prove disappointing. 
Again.—In early life I adopted the motto “Big Sales and Small Profits” and this motto I 
have never discarded. I have no desire to become a millionaire. I believe in the old proverb “A 
Good Name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and Loving Favor rather than silver and 
gold.” For this reason I sell any seeds offered in this Flower Book for 5cts., 22 packets $1.00, 
50 packets $2.00, and 77 packets $3.00. These seeds are packed free, sent by mail post-paid and 
warranted to reach you in good condition. If mistakes are found I cheerfully correct them. Send 
your money with the order. I guarantee its safety. Sums under $1.00 send in 3-cent or 1-cent 
stamps. Now, while I appreciate and am thankful for even the smallest order, I also appreciate 
and am thankful for orders that embrace the orders of flower-friends in a community, and any 
person who gets orders at 5cts a packet amounting to $2.00 can get 10 extra packets, selected 
from my flower book; and to any person who gets orders for 60 packets at 5cts each, $3.00,1 will 
send 17 packets. So you see, it will pay you to see your friends and neighbors and swell your 
order to two or three or more dollars, and thus get a nice collection for your effort. Extra books 
and order sheets will be sent on request. Also, I will mail my Flower Book free to any of your 
friends. I would far rather have 5 or 6 names of flower-ioveis than 100 promises. 
My Flower Book is issued and mailed about New Years. It is not like ordinary catalogues, 
but prepared to give information that flower-loving people will appreciate. A glance at its pages 
will reveal its useful scope. I aim to give truthful descriptions, indicate in some degree how the 
flowers can be best used, their height, time of blooming, etc. I show many of the good things by 
clear wood-engravings, and do the printing in my own well-equipped printing office. No expen¬ 
sive colored plates are used, and the economy thus realized is put into larger seed packets and 
popular prices. I have conducted my business in this economical way since I began (1868), and 
expect to continue in that line as long as life. 
Flower-loving people are the most delightful people in the world. I have enjoyed every day 
of my long period of dealing with them. Its a joy to me when the seed season comes around, and 
1 always anticipate the many friendly letters that come to me from my big floral family. I wish 
them all success and pleasure in their floral work, and remain, as ever—the flower-lover’s friend, 
Greenwood, S. C., Season of 1934. GEO. W. PARK. 
An Old Patron. —Dear Mr. Park: In 1884 I bought 
a packet of mixed Biennials and Perennials from you, and they 
came up fine. Now, after BO yearB, many of their progeny 
are still thriving and blooming each year. Digitalis, Columbine, 
Sweet William, and others. I am now 76 years young, and am 
sending a small order. Mrs. A. C. Terry, Susquehanna Co., Pa. 
Appreciated. —Dear Mr. Park: The seeds I ordered 
from you have come up wonderfully well, and I am so happy 
to be able to have so many different kinds of flowers. Your 
prices are much appreciated. Mr9. R. E. Wagner, Multnomah 
Cc., Ore., April 25, 1933. 
Catalogue. —Dear Mr. Park: I have had very large 
catalogue experience, and I want to congratulate you on your 
issue this year. The amount of real information you have pack¬ 
ed into it in an unusually interesting way is wonderful. Chas. 
Rimes, Morris Co., N. J., March 1, 1933. 
Antirrhinum, Cheiranthus. —Dear Mr. Park: I 
wish to express my thanks for the privilege of being able to 
purchase such wonderful seeds at such a Tow price. I was de¬ 
lighted with my Snapdragons, they were so large and of such 
beautiful colors. The Cheiranthus Allioni also was fine, many 
inquired whatthey were. Mrs. E. Preston, Barnstable Co.,Mass
