A Word from the Boss 
W ELL, the year has come and gone, 
and here we are at the start of another 
year—a brand new year with all its possibili¬ 
ties for better things. 
As we get older these new years swing 
around mighty fast, and I’ve seen a lot of 
them whizz by. For 59 years I’ve been doing 
business in my own name here at the same 
town, and in the same line of business—seeds, 
garden and nursery. 
It’s a long, long time, and there’s been lots 
of ups and downs—but I’ve enjoyed them all 
and lived through them all. And I believe 
better times are ahead of us now. We are on 
the up grade after several years of mighty 
hard times, and I feel sure that we are all 
slated for better years to come now. 
But good times or bad, rich or poor, old or 
young, busy or with lots of leisure—we all 
need a garden. Whether it’s for profit or 
pleasure—to help out our living or as a hobby 
for our leisure—a poor man’s necessity or a 
rich man’s hobby—or anywhere in between— 
we all need a garden, and get a world of help 
in every way from it. Physical, mental, and 
moral. 
I hope that this year you, too, may have a garden—a real garden—a good garden—one 
that will be a pleasure—one where you can rest your tired soul and get back to nature. Also 
one that will be practical as well as beautiful. Food for the family all summer with plenty 
to store for winter. It can be done on a very small plot of ground. 
All you need is a few good seeds and plants and a little corner of fairly good land, and 
some patient loving care. 
For over 50 years I have been supplying the seeds and plants you need, and I ask nothing 
better than to keep on with it for years to come. It’s a mission and a pleasure, as well as a 
business. I am proud of it. I hope I may be allowed to help you. 
If you need any advice and information I will be glad to do all I can for you. Advice, like 
salvation, is free. 
It is our ambition to give you good honest quality in plants and seeds, pure, vigorous, 
true to name, and good practical varieties. We don’t go in much for flashy novelties till 
we have tried them out ourselves. We prove them in our own gardens before offering 
them to you. We believe in good strains of standard tried sorts. Also we believe in fair 
reasonable prices. 
Send us your orders. We know we can please you. And come and see us some day. 
Yours, H. F. 
HENEY HIMSELF 
This is my latest picture and shows me at 
my favorite job of sitting “under my own vine 
and fig tree” (or rather my own morning glory 
vines), and watching my garden grow. H. F. 
The best cure for most of our troubles is to 
get back to earth and plant a garden. And 
the older I get the prouder I am that I have 
all my life helped people to enjoy and appre¬ 
ciate a garden. I feel that it has been work 
well worth while.
