The New Leisure 
SPEND IT IN THE GARDEN 
And Your Satisfaction Will Be Complete 
if You Use the Best Materials 
H IGH QUALITY in Seeds, Bulbs, and Plants is just as important 
to the Amateur who gardens for sport and recreation as it is to 
the Professional Cultivator whose livelihood depends so much 
on results. 
In the following pages we offer seeds, bulbs, and plants of the best of 
the “Novelty” sorts—flowers that are larger, with new colors, some with 
a longer blossoming period; vegetables that are easier to grow, because 
resistance to disease is bred into them, and more delicious; lawn seeds 
processed by modern cleaning machines to a higher purity than has been 
offered in the past. Along with these we have the “Standard” sorts— 
those older kinds which have long established themselves as permanent 
varieties because of their general excellence. 
Growers find that our Seeds are of the 
highest germination, not only because 
they are always tested, but their germi¬ 
nation and the vitality of our Bulbs is 
maintained through the controlled tem¬ 
peratures and humidities of our new 
building, which has been designed for 
the special purpose of storing these liv¬ 
ing things under the most favorable 
conditions. 
High Quality in our Fertilizers is 
assured by the fact that mixtures bearing 
the initials “S. & W.,” or the copyrighted 
word “Sawco,” preceding their descrip¬ 
tion are our own manufacture or are 
packed by us. 
To make it easy for you to purchase, 
you will find order-blanks at page 176. 
You will note that we include a special 
blank for plants and nursery stock, be¬ 
cause these are dispatched from our 
nurseries at the proper planting season. 
while we aim to ship seeds and bulbs the 
same day your order reaches us, unless 
you wish otherwise. Both you and we are 
helped if you use these order-blanks, and 
if you mail them in to us as early as 
possible. Time will be saved if orders 
and correspondence are sent to our 
New York headquarters. A Check, 
Bank-Draft, Post-Office or Express Money 
Order should accompany your order, and 
if you send currency, be sure to use 
registered mail. We will be glad to ship 
seeds, bulbs, and fertilizers C. O. D., if 
you wish, but this does not apply to 
perishable goods, like shrubs or plants, 
which we cannot send C. O. D. We are 
glad to open charge accounts on receipt 
of the usual trade references, when our 
invoices are payable within 30 days. 
Our prices are net, with no discounts, 
and they are subject to change without 
notice. We have to emphasize this 
Ideal storage jacililies are provided in our New 
York headquarters. Here, and at our branches, 
we are equipped to serve you personally. 
because our Catalogue goes to press early 
in December. 
We make no charge for packing domestic 
shipments, except where special bags are 
necessary—heavy cotton, seamless, burlap 
and the like. We charge these at cost, 
but allow full credit when they are returned 
to us, prepaid, with the sender’s name and 
address marked on the bundle. 
We are well equipped to make ship¬ 
ments to distant points, through our 
Export Department, which will take care 
of the proper packing, delivery to steamer, 
and the preparation of the necessary 
documents. Purchaser pays actual charges 
for transportation and special packing for 
export shipments. 
The splendid response accorded our 
efforts in past years affords us great en¬ 
couragement, and we desire to express our 
grateful appreciation to our customers 
and friends.
