“BLOOMSGREATEST JOY OF FIRST LADY” 
{Copyright 1933 by N. A. N. A. Inc.) 
By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. 
“The White House, Washington. D. C. July 29. 
I am frequently asked the greatest pleasure I 
find in my life in the White House. The answer 
will probably astonish you, for without question, 
I think I enjoy most having all the flowers I 
want around me and being able to send them when¬ 
ever I wish to the friends who will enjoy them." 
This statement by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt ap¬ 
peared in the Cleveland Plain Dealer last summer. I 
quote by special permission of Mrs. Roosevelt.

For Your 1934 Garden 
To Our Customers:- 
Here is an old friend, in a new form—o bigger and better catalog than we have ever issued in our 
58 years of serving the best gardeners in America. The much larger page size enables us to show more 
of our specialties in natural colors. It also gives us room for many new flowers and vegetables which 
you should have in your garden for the first time this year. See pages 6, 7 and 39. 
In preparing the catalog, we have aimed to make it a real help to you in planning your garden as 
well as to make it easy for you to select the material you wish to plant. The index on page 76 gives 
both the common and the botanical names of plants, so no matter with which you are familiar, you 
can find either easily. You wilIRndinthiscatalog, the best rounded assortment or seeds and plants for 
the large or small home garden or estate, the market gardener or the farm home gardener, offered 
any place in the world. 
Here are plenty of varieties of seeds at 5c per packet. Others which are priced higher than that 
are so priced because of newness or scarcity. Where you require lorger quantities than the regular 
packets contain, you will Rnd sharp reductions in price have been made. On all plants, you will 
Rnd prices ranged so that if you buy more than one of a kind, you make a saving. Besides, many 
I combinations are offered. By taking advantage of these, you make further savings. All in all, you will 
Rnd the catalog full of sound bargains. 
All of the seeds and plants we offer have been carefully grown from tested parent stock which has 
been improved from year to year. All of our growers are men of long experience, watchful for quality 
and productivity. They all maintain test gardens, as do we, both in Medina and here in Cleveland, 
where strains are improved and habits can be compared and studied. Located, as we are, practically 
I in the center of population of the United States, parcel post and express service to every corner of 
I the nation is very fast. 
If you belong to a Garden Club or Horticultural Society, local, state or national, read my offer on 
page 56 of the Horticultural Achievement Medal in Bronze. It is free to such Clubs. Tell your Club. 
There is a good reason this year for having a vegetable garden. Thousands of our customers have 
found during the depression that a big saving of money can be made with even a moderate sized 
vegetable garden. Besides freshly gathered vegetables 
taste far better. I can recommend this to you. 
With this new,bigger catalog,comes my best wishes 
for a most successful garden in 1934.

When to Order catalog to you 
early enough so you can make up your order 
with the least amount of rush. We like to 
have the orders come in as early as possible 
so we can spread our work over a longer period 
than if everyone waited until planting time. 
But if you cannot order early, send your order 
in any time and we will take good care of it. 
Hovv to Order 
bound in this book, perforated, so you can 
tear them out easily. We like to have you 
use the order blank in ordering because it 
insures accuracy in filling yoxir order when 
we receive it. When you are ready, tear out 
one of the order blanks—print or write your 
full name and full address in the spaces pro¬ 
vided at the top. Then list all the flower and 
vegetable seeds you need. Do the same with 
the bulbs, shrubs and plants you wish to 
order. You will see a column on the order 
blank, headed “Variety Number.” Every 
variety in the catalog has a number just 
in front of the name. If you wish, you only 
need to fill in those numbers on the order 
blank instead of writing out the names of 
varieties. We do like to have you use the 
numbers, even though you use the names, 
too, for it speeds things up here when we 
fill your order and helps us to be accurate. 
A tough, self-addressed envelope is enclosed 
with the catalog. Use it when you mail us 
your order. You may pay by Money Order, 
Check, or if you must send cash or stamps, 
be sure to register the envelope.
