FOREWORD 
/ 
It is our purpose to discuss in an understandable 
manner matters of interest to the ordinary home flover 
gardener. This, our regular spring planting bulletin, 
is presented to you with some ado.it iong and suggestions 
not previously touched upon. In former bulletins, much 
space was devoted to the history and origination of 
types and varieties of the many members of the bulbous 
flower family. If you are interested in any phase of 
flower culture omitted in this number, we shall be pleased 
to furnish without cost any ba.cu numbers of the bulletin 
which we may have bearing upon the subject. 
Since we grow nothing but bulbs and personally tame 
care of all correspondence and the filling of all orders, 
we are in a far better position to keep in touch''with 
the needs of customers in this line than any concern 
growing and handling a diversified line of products. 
KEEPING- THE PRICE DOVE. Because of drought conditions 
over an unprecedented wide spread area the past season, 
the wholesale price on practically all merchandise has 
been boosted. Especially is this true of agricultural 
and horticultural products. In spite of this, we are 
keeping the price of bulbs at the lowest possible level 
and within the reach of all. 
OUR NSW LOCATION. Because of crowded conditions and 
uncertainty of a water supply in the city, we were 
obliged to procure outside lands for growing purposes. 
A new location on LAZE DRIVE (Canyon Lake Road) is being 
developed which will eventually be our headquarters. 
However, for the present all orders and correspondence 
should be addressed to 1221 11th St. Rapid City, S.D. 
FALL PLANTING iUXZBER OE BEAUTY V/ITH BULBS will carry 
list of peonies, tulips, lilies and other bulbs for 
fall planting and will quote lowest possible prices. 
This will be sent out about September 1st to our regular 
customers. If you do not receive a copy, ask for one.
