Th e Greenhouse Florist is Fortunate 
The nature of our business is such that it cannot be restricted, hampered, or its individuality and useful¬ 
ness destroyed by the depressing effect of a leveling code. This permits us to develop it according 
to our individual advantages and ability. Also this makes for the progress that has enabled American 
business in the past to pay the world’s highest wage scale, and only thru our unhampered initiative 
can we restore it. 
Also, the nature of our business is such that it cannot readily be taken over and carried on which 
permits many of us to work out a situation that might easily overtake other lines. Furthermore, — if 
we must contend with occasional "price cutting,’’ consider your grocer, druggist, etc. If you give 
real service, grow good stock and price it moderately, we know from our experience with the seed 
as well as the greenhouse business that you have nothing to fear because most of us know that, usually, 
we get what we pay for. 
We are also fortunate in being in a business that is not so much a luxury as it is a necessity. Hasn t 
the stress of the past few seasons proven this conclusively? Also, do we fully appreciate the boosters 
our business enjoys in local garden clubs? The few summer flowers they produce spreads their 
value thru the winter. In conclusion, there is every reason to believe that 
our business will continue the gradual improvement that set in the past 
season. But do not be misled into producing oversupplies. That hurts, not 
only yourself but the rest of us too. 
PLEASE NOTE —Our seed cannot be bought from deal ers or our agents EXCEPT IN OUR 
PRINTED PACKETS OR CONTAINERS. 
When our seed is offered in other than our containers, you have good reasons to suspect it. 
Avoid uncertainty and possible loss by ordering direct from us or thru our regular representatives 
who sell for us in our containers only.
