1936 thanks Oun TiwetUieiU Aiatwensany. 
Q UALITY is the foundation upon which 
all permanent business must rest. On 
the occasion of the twentieth anniversary 
of our business we take pride and satisfac¬ 
tion in reviewing our relationship over two 
decades with our many friends and cus¬ 
tomers and reiterating the policy of quality 
which has done so much to establish our 
position in the industry. 
On the following pages we present for your 
approval many of the outstanding Seed, 
Bulb and Plant novelties to be introduced 
this season, together with a wide and 
varied selection of the best new kinds of 
the past few years, as well as standard 
sorts which still predominate in the field 
of horticulture. 
We sincerely thank our numerous custom¬ 
ers for their past patronage and desire to 
assure them as well as new clients that it 
will be our continued effort to serve each 
and every one with quality stocks and at 
prices in keeping with the market. 
We are very glad to say that indications 
at the present time suggest better future 
business in all horticultural lines. There¬ 
fore, we think the florist can approach the 
coming season with more confidence than 
in the past three or four years, and be¬ 
lieve that it behooves growers to antici¬ 
pate such by providing at least reason¬ 
able supplies for the expected increase 
in demand.
