business from generation to generation and there are few businesses in this 
country which have such a record. 
We are at all times open to suggestions from all parties interested in garden, 
lawn grass and flower seeds. We are endeavoring to offer them seeds of superior 
quality and vitality which are grown from our seed stock in the best possible 
sections of the United States and Europe. We are allowing no stone to be un¬ 
turned that we feel is beneficial to our business in particular and the seed trade 
in general. Our staff of experts is at your disposal. No amount of money is too 
great for us to spend to obtain better seeds. 
We wish you all a most successful year.

From the Writings of the Founders 
“Honesty is the best policy” was an adage often repeated by David Landreth 
to his children. His son, the writer of this sketch, with feeling of deep gratitude, 
attributed whatever success in life may have attended him to the noble example 
and practice of manly and moral qualifications daily exhibited by his honored 
and revered father. 
David Landreth, Jr., said: “It may be well for those who follow in this the 
hour of prosperity not to lose sight of its origin, and upward progress founded 
on the sure basis of integrity and the practice of integrity and economy. All 
has gone well, marking out a sure path for those to tread, who follow.” 
The simplicity of all LANDRETHS’ CATALOGUES rests in the fact that they are so 
easily understood. They are arranged alphabetically and contain straightforward, concise 
descriptions in order that the seed or vegetable may be identified at once.
