TO OUR MANY FRIENDS: 
Greetings and good wishes for this New Year, and may it be for all a year of prosperity 
and satisfaction. 
It’s a new year, a new deal, a time when we are not afraid to venture into new fields. 
And so, appropriately enough, we have chosen this year for a new experiment in catalogue 
arrangement. 
So many of our customers have suggested to us the convenience and the practical value 
of a smaller garden hand-book, published at more frequent intervals, that we are re-vamping 
our big catalogue this year for serial publication in seasonal issues. 
This condensed booklet, which comes to you just in advance of the big Spring planting 
season, is the first of the new series. In it you will find planting lists for the months 
ahead, detailed descriptions of our many varieties of Seeds, Plants, Shrubs and Vegetables, 
prices of Navlet’s fine quality stock, and the full list of nearly 100 of our own sturdy, field- 
grown Roses. 
It will serve you, we believe, as a handy reference guide as to what to plant in the season 
just ahead. Every word in it is up-to-the-minute, interesting and useful. We believe you 
will like the new serial type of publication—we would appreciate your writing us your 
ideas about it. 
To the many who have depended for years on Navlet’s Planter’s Guide as a general 
garden manual, we bring the welcome news that our plan is to print the Planter’s Guide as a 
separate publication—a handy little booklet that you can slip right into your pocket as you go 
about your garden work. 
And now to get busy in the garden, with Navlet’s new garden hand-book to guide you— 
the result of 49 years’ western Nursery experience, condensed into this handy little manual 
to make your garden more beautiful. 
Cordially yours, 
CHAS. C. NAVLET CO.
