FOREWORD 
In preparing copy for our 1936 catalog, we are completing thirty'six 
years of continuous breeding of greenhouse products in Indianapolis, 
mostly carnations and chrysanthemums our specialties, during which 
time we have released many varieties that have made good in this 
country as well as in foreign lands. 
We desire to thank our many patrons, who have mailed us unsolicited 
testimonials as to our meritorious introductions and packing methods. 
We hope they have been benefited financially as well as enjoyed grow' 
ing our selection of seedlings. 
One of our policies is not to ship any stock on orders, which we our- 
selves would not care to receive. We believe the plant patent law will 
eventually stabilize and benefit all branches of the industry in that cut 
flowers and plants will have a more intrinsic value. 
We are confident that a more abundant season is in store for florists 
who grow for quality. We notice less hand'to^mouth buying, which is 
a good sign that business is improving. 
Since we have moved all our glass area into one unit, located on 
State Road No. 29, north of the Marion County line in Hamilton County, 
Indiana, we can give our specialties better culture. Our new propagat' 
ing house is a model; rooting clean cuttings in less time than formerly. 
We invite trade visitors to inspect our new houses and shall be glad to 
explain, either by word of mouth or mail, our cultural methods. 
We sell 25 at 100 rate, 250 of any one variety at 1000 rates. Where 
fewer than 25 are ordered, charges will be made at the dozen rate. 
Below are listed the rates per hundred of our several classes, and oppo' 
site each rate is indicated the corresponding rate per dozen:

of the month following date of invoice. To avoid delay when placing

We prefer to ship via railway express in severe weather. Should any 
shipment reach you by express damaged, sign for it: “Received in dann 
aged condition,” and be sure to notify your express agent to inspect the 
plants. Then notify us immediately so we can file claim with express 
company and make good to you. Do not return plants without first 
communicating. Please write your forwarding address plainly. Prices 
referred to in this catalog are for rooted cuttings.
