"IT COSTS NO MORE TO GROW THE BEST" 
^ou can’t insure your garden—but a very few additional cents invested in Salbach 
seeds or bulbs will bring you the next best thing — assurance that you are starting 
with the finest stock obtainable. 
An advertisement of a few years ago carried the title “What a whale of a differ¬ 
ence a few cents make,’’ but in terms of your garden, this statement wouldn’t tell 
half the story. After all, it takes just as much garden space, just as much water, and 
just as much weeding for you to grow a poor plant as a prize-winner. But those 
few extra pennies on your original purchase determine whether your garden is one 
that your neighbors truly envy, or whether it is “just another garden.’’ 
Realizing this, we have always been meticulously careful to maintain our repu¬ 
tation for sending out only the cleanest, healthiest bulbs, seeds, and roots. 
We sell goods of the finest quality at most moderate prices — yet we have con¬ 
sistently and continuously cast aside all suggestions that we “go cheap’’ by accepting 
any temporary economy that might be expensive to our customers in the long run. 
We feel confident that our strict adherence to this policy enables you to get greater 
value for your money than is possible anywhere else. 
Sincerely,
