TO OUR PATRONS 
I.n compiling our catalog for 1935 it has been our endeavor to 
eclipse previous efforts by making it most complete in every detail. 
You will find Cultural Suggestions on the last pages which we 
feel assured will be acceptable and appreciated by many. 
Through the pages are enumerated many new varieties, to be 
exact 37 including all types, which are being offered for the first time. 
The prices are moderate considering merits and the vast amount 
of labor in production. 
A friend and customer has suggested the following slogan for 
varieties of our origination, “When they’re Smith’s they’re good.” 
Those who prefer kinds that are not strictly new will find an 
extensive list of standard varieties at a much lower price and comprising 
many of the varieties most popular at the present time. 
In our descriptions we state the plain facts rather than exaggerate 
in any way whatsoever. 
Thanking you for a continuance of your patronage, we are 
Very respectfully, 
ELMER D. SMITH &CO. 
READ THIS BEFORE MAKING ORDER 
Remember, we do not supply less than 5 plants of a kind at ten, 
and 25 at hundred rate. This means you must order 5 or 25 of a kind 
in order to secure the ten or hundred rate. 
KEEP THIS CATALOG FOR REFERENCE 
This catalog is really a book of reference, giving the height the 
plants attain, and the best bud to reserve for the many sorts offered. 
Such information is eagerly sought each year, and especially so as the 
time for securing buds draws near. Every word in this catalog from 
cover to cover is worth reading and may throw light upon some subject 
important to the recipient.
