Confidence 
To have the complete confidence of 
its patrons is the most valuable thing 
in any business, and it is the hardest 
to attain. To get it one must earn it. 
To keep it means continue earning 
it. Our future development is insep¬ 
arably wrapped up with the progress 
of our customers, combined with their 
faith in our ability to serve them ef¬ 
ficiently and honestly. 
With a great deal of pleasure, we 
hand you our new seed catalog. We 
have put a good deal of time and 
thought into its preparation. We 
want it to be interesting and informa¬ 
tive. We want also to let you all un¬ 
derstand that we are a friendly 
crowd—those of you who live close to 
us, we invite to come and talk your 
problems over and those who cannot 
conveniently come, write us a letter. 
We will try our best to help you. A 
seed catalog is necessarily optimistic; 
it is a harbinger of spring. The seeds 
offered in this catalog represent the 
cumulative efforts of a lifetime studying seeds. 
We are grateful for the confidence you have reposed in us in the 
past and hopeful that this confidence will grow even greater in the 
future. We always appreciate the recommendations of our friends 
and assure you that the trust reposed in us will be sacredly respected.
