D Tt The* 5 fifty-first annual convention of the American Seed Trade Association 
of Better Homes and Gardens, known as Along the Garden Path. in d , 
his advice to seedsmen was that our seed catalogs are practically all alike and 
that thev contain too little human interest. So with this thought in nund, 
we have prepared this catalog in hopes that it will strike a new and original 
n °We n airremember nd the n fanciful tales in our younger days, of gnomes, elves, 
and fairies that guarded the gardens of our grandparents. They were the un¬ 
seen night workers, overseers of the gardens, and as the old 
fnl crons and beautiful flowers were gathered when the elves and gnomes helped 
Sot3S1h“garSS from insects, drouths, etc. . We therefore thought it appro- 
nriate to designate the garden gnome as an insignia of good luck to the Sowers 
of Salzer’s Fairyland Seeds. We naturally have always keen interested in 
famous gardens and we are presenting views of various World Famous Gardens. 
For 66 years .through three generations, we have been building one of the 
largest sLd businesses in the United States on the one theory that you must 
be satisfied or your money will be refunded. Tou want good seeds and efficient 
servfce and these you will get at Salzer’s. At a very considerable investment 
we have provided acres of proving grounds at our Cliff wood Farms, with mam¬ 
moth greenhouses and a modern seed laboratory to PRE-prove Salzer s Seeds.
