Only the Best Is Good Enough 
T HROUGH the lean years of the depression now happily passing away, we have been 
grateful for our many customers who have remained faithful to us in spite of tempting 
opportunities to purchase their garden requirements more cheaply elsewhere. True economy 
is never cheap, for cheap things are usually the most expensive in the end. 
This is especially true in purchasing seeds, bulbs, and plants because the initial cost is so 
extremely small compared with the cost of raising the plants and their final value. A whole 
season’s work of several men may be squandered upon worthless seeds and bulbs of inferior quality, 
but the same effort expended upon good stock would have produced abundant satisfaction. 
Good gardeners and careful buyers know that the way to insure a proper return for the work 
which they lavish on their gardens is to begin with seeds, bulbs, and plants of established merit. 
William M. Hunt & Company, Inc., have always stood for the best, and that standard of 
quality has never been lowered for any consideration. Our customers can rely upon us now as 
always to supply only dependable material of supreme quality. 
To our local customers we extend a hearty invitation to come in and make their purchases 
directly from our stock. Those who order by mail may rely on choice selection being made for them. 
We extend our best wishes for the New Year.
