CC011DING to careful studies made by the Na¬ 
tional Garden Bureau, sales of packeted garden 
seeds—flower seeds especially—have steadily in¬ 
creased for the past five years at the rate of more 
than ten per cent a year. This record is emphatic proof of 
the steadily increasing interest in flowers and plants, of the 
growing realization by American people of the reward that 
awaits those who beautify their homes and enrich their 
lives with gardens. 
inspire us in our chosen task of helping to make more and 
better gardens possible. Real garden success is impossible 
without the right materials at the start—and that means 
seeds, bulbs, plants, etc. As in every line in these days of 
hot competition, there are various grades or qualities of 
plant materials and garden supplies; and, as always the 
kind of material planted largely determines the size, quality 
and value of the crop harvested. 
We are emphasizing that point because in this 18th annu¬ 
al catalog we again offer, in simple language and un¬ 
adorned style, true, first quality merchandise—the kind 
that we know will give the person who plants it a real start 
toward garden achievement. So as not to leave that state¬ 
ment unsupported, we show herewith (on the facing page) 
half a dozen of the many medals in our big collection of 
trophies awarded by some of the largest of the Eastern 
flower shows and horticultural organizations for our ex¬ 
hibits. Note that these particular awards are from the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 1921, the Cleveland 
Flower Show in 1925, and the International (New York) 
Flower Show in 1924, 1931, 1933, and 1934; and that they 
were won by such various products as Orchids, Narcissi, 
Azaleas, Coronilla and Tulips. 
In other words, we stand ready, as we always have, to 
supply either standard, ever-popular sorts, the latest, prom¬ 
ising novelties, or unusual rarities for connoisseurs and ex¬ 
perts in their several fields. We appreciate and give the 
same scrupulous attention to small orders for material right 
at hand as to large, or complex commissions requiring con¬ 
siderable effort and search. Likewise we welcome back the 
customers we have been privileged to serve in the past with 
the same sort of interest and enthusiasm with which we 
greet the new patron who for the first time decides to test 
the accuracy of our slogan— 
Muller-Sealey means M ore Service 
Our headquarters in the heart of New York are conveni¬ 
ently located for those who, while in the city, desire to place 
their orders in person or talk over their garden problems 
with our experts. Our commodious warehouse in Jersey 
City is also accessible and ready for visitors at all times. 
And in every department our organization is equipped and 
anxious to give prompt, careful attention to orders sent in 
by those who do not find it convenient to call. 
May we have the opportunity of contributing to your 
1936 garden triumphs?
