NO MORE FREE CATALOGS 
EXCEPT TO OUR REGULAR CUSTOMERS, TO UNIVERSITIES AND LIBRARIES. 
For years we have been sending out catalogs to people who have asked for them but many 
of whom have never favored us with a single order; thousands of them who are mere 
flower-catalog collectors, some who want to satisfy their curiosity, others who want 
to study them and clip out the pictures. 
It is a well known fact among gardners everywhere that our Annual catalog is an 
unusual one, full of valuable information, garden hints and what not, one that is 
beautifully illustrated with fine photographs and color plates, listing and describing 
many ususual things; perhaps it is not as large and handsome as some others, like 
Sutton's, who by the way charge 35c for their catalog, or the Wayside Gardens and a 
few others specializing in certain plants or bulbs, but the census of opinion is, that 
our catalog is among the best. 
Well now, our ANNUAL catalog costs us including the mailing around 20c each; our 
MID-SUMMER CATALOG 12c each—a total of 32c for the two, or $320. per thousand. 5000 
would mean a total loss of $1,600. 
We dislike telling you how many thousands we send out, that never bring us in one cent 
in return—this has been going on year after year for the last few years. 
Other hundreds are returned to us for the reason that people have moved to unknown 
parts leaving no address; these are people who have lived in rented houses for a 
season or two, asked for a catalog or perhaps send in a small order; this means 
the payment of return postage, an additional expense besides the catalog, as we have no 
further use for these returned catalogs. 
When business was good and customers bought liberally we could stand this loss, and 
still make a little profit, but for the last few years since the depression set in and 
customer's have cut down on their orders, as much as 50%, this drain on our financial 
resources has been too much, and we have come to the realization that we must stop 
this waste immediately or suffer absolute ruin. 
Hence beginning with our ANNUAL CATALOG, mailed out January 1, 1936, you who receive 
our summer catalog in July, gratis with our compliments, and who have not up to this 
time or may not favor us with an order by December 31, 1935, this will be our last FREE 
catalog which you will receive. 
Old customers who have not favored us with an order since 1933 will be taken off the 
free list, unless an order is received by December, 31st of this year—1935. 
All other customers as of record during the years 1934 and 1935, as well as 
Universities and Libraries will receive our splendid 1936 ANNUAL CATALOG free of charge 
as in the past. 
Others who wish to receive our catalogs will please, send 20c in stamps; in addition 
to the catalog you will receive a coupon good for 20c in our Merchandise on any 
order for 50c and over, so the catalog won't cost you one cent and we will be 
protected from a great annual loss and waste. 
Thanking you for all past favors, no matter how small, and hoping that EACH ONE WHO 
RECEIVES THIS SUMMER SEED AND BULB CATALOG will send us an order even if only for a 
dollar or 50c, and so be assured of a free copy of our two 1936 catalogs, we remain 
as ever for only the BEST IN BULBS, SEEDS AND PLANTS.
