To Make Your Home 
SMore Beautiful, More Fruitful 
This is your book. Not just a catalog. Not just a com¬ 
monplace collection of nursery stock and seeds. But a 
guide to more beautiful, more fruitful homes; to hap¬ 
pier, healthier families; to the joy and contentment of 
living in a lovely home—your home. 
Also, it might be called a Buying Guide. We list the 
varieties which have been tested and found of sterling 
quality. We have described and pictured them in their 
natural beauty and colors so that in the quiet of your 
own home, you can select exactly what you want. 
The mailman makes us neighbors as we are within 
twenty-four hours of more than half the entire United 
States. 
We have made our prices right so that this beauty and 
health, the birthright of mankind, are within reach of 
all. It has been our honest endeavor to grow the best 
quality stock, to handle it properly and to sell it at 
reasonable prices. That is why we have built up the 
largest Direct-to-You nursery business in America. 
We want to express our sincere appreciation to all our 
old customers for the fine business they have given us 
and especially to those who have been so kind as to 
recommend our firm to their friends and neighbors. The 
foundation of all successful business is Good WiU. We 
will continue our endeavors to make our firm worthy 
of the trust and confidence of our himdreds of thou¬ 
sands of customers. 
You will enjoy looking thru this book. Whatever you 
buy from it will be a truly profitable investment. Every 
tree, every shrub, every flower wiU. bring new beauty 
to your home. A few cents for seeds will bring you 
many dollars worth of the finest home-grown vegetables 
and many thousands of flowers. The value of the roses, 
shrubs, trees, fruits, bulbs, cannot be measured in 
mere dollars any more than you can measure a Mother’s 
Love. The joy, the pride, the satisfaction that is yours 
from a Home framed in restful trees, nestling amid 
naflire’s beauties, is without price. 
That Friends, is our sincere wish for you: A Home of 
Health—A Home of Happiness—A Home of Beauty— 
a Joy Forever.
