OSCAR H. WILL 8C CO., BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA 
Our Fifty-First Catalog 
T\/7E ARE with this issue sending to you the first catalog of our second half century. With 
it we are entering, it seems, a new era in national affairs which promises even greater 
advances in general welfare and happiness than have been experienced in the past fifty 
years. To us it seems that the coming years are full of promise for the agricultural North¬ 
western States and it is our hope to continue and keep pace in our services with North¬ 
western Agriculture. 
During the past year of poor crops and unemployment the general opinion seems to 
be that vegetable gardens have been worth millions of dollars to the people of the country 
and especially of the Northwest. We feel that we have contributed our share to that total 
sum with the special adapted varieties which we have introduced or developed. 
Furthermore we feel that many hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions of the 
value of vegetable crops in the Northwest must be credited to one man, whose reward has 
been only his personal satisfaction in his great accomplishment and an occasional word of 
praise from horticulturists of the world. He has been cramped and restricted in his work 
to an extent that would make anyone but an altruistic enthusiast quit in despair, in spite of 
which his list of valuable vegetables and fruits seems to increase ever more rapidly. As most 
of you have doubtless guessed, we are referring to Professor Yeager of the North Dakota 
Agricultural College. May his value be more widely appreciated and his work supported 
and encouraged with interest and enthusiasm lest he be taken from us by those who might 
claim that they appreciate him where his own state disregards and discourages him. If 
Luther Burbank was a benefactor to his country certainly our state and region owe a debt to 
Professor Yeager which could never be paid.
