His life was filled to overflowing with the desire to 
give choice flowers to real flower lovers. When the 
Lord called him he slipped away as peacefully and 
quietly as a soft wind's breath, borne to his Father's 
Home where the Heavenly flowers bloom and celestial 
music forever fills the air.

Dear Friends: Mr. Park was more than just a seeds¬ 
man. To me, he was a friend. If every citizen of our 
good old U. S. A. could add as much pleasure and 
genuine goodness to life as Geo. W. Park, it would 
truly be a heaven on earth. His philosophy of life was 
to pass on to others love, peace and good will. Mrs. 
Tom mie Lee Kidd, McCulloch Co., Texas, May 18. 
Kind Friends: I have been a reader of Mr. Park's 
magazines and catalogues for many years. In every 
nook and corner of my garden I see some of his flow¬ 
ers. Miss Ada R. Holden, Pierce Co., Wash. May 14- 
My Dear Mrs. Park and Sons: I feel that Mr. Park 
was a real missionary in the flower growing realm. 
Mrs. Henry D. Garrison, Pickens Co., S. C,. May 19- 
Dear Mrs. Park: I have allowed a number of indi¬ 
viduals to use this catalog since I have become ac¬ 
quainted with Mr. Park and without exception they 
have felt like I have, that there was more condensed 
knowledge in that catalog than could be found in a 
number of books combined that were written for de¬ 
tailed knowledge. I have had occasion to peruse 
many a book and catalog and feel that I could get 
more from the limited writings of Mr. Park than from 
any other source. Dr. J. W. Hellwig, Douglas Co., 
Nebraska, June 14, 1935. 
Gentlemen: Mr. Park was a man influential in 
making the world better by finding a way for all to be, 
able to have wonderful flowers, even if times are 
hard. Mrs. Geo. Reyer, Los Angeles Co., Calif. May 8. 
Gentlemen: I hope Mr. Park's work will continue 
and that we can still get inexpensive seed-packets 
in the unusual varieties as were obtainable from 
him. I like the idea of an inexpensive catalog, and 
the savings passed on in good seeds at prices we 
can pay. I still consult copies of his magazine which 
I took in 1912. Miss Jennie Smith, Warren Co. 
Iowa, May 15, 1935. 
My Dear Mrs. Park: Mr. Park was a man who was 
the soul of honor in all his dealings, and through his 
generosity and love for mankind, brought sunshine 
and happiness into many homes. I count it a privilege 
as well as a pleasure to have been numbered among 
his friends. Mrs. Samuel H. Miller, Frederick Co., 
Va., April 2, 1935. 
Dear Mrs. Park: I doubt if any one person in the 
United States to-day has given garden lovers more 
pleasure and satisfaction than has Mr. Park. W. H. 
Forde, Lake Co., Ohio, March 23, 1935. 
Dear Flower Friends: You have my most sincere 
sympathy in your loss. It seems we have all lost a true 
friend. Long ago at the age of twelve, I bought my 
first flower seed of Mr. Park, and started my first gar¬ 
den, a twelve cents mixed pkt. To me it was the most 
wonderful thing in the world, and as every day a new 
flower appeared, I thought it still a greater prize. I 
am 61 now and have seldom missed my order to Mr. 
Park, and the seed have always given me wonderful 
results. I surely hope to keep on buying seeds of his 
people, who carry on his work, as long as I have need 
of seed. Mrs. L. C. Gitchel, Hubbard Co., Minn. 
Dear Madam: While my acquaintance with Mr. 
Geo. W. Park was by written word only, there was 
something about his methods, the personality which 
he injected into the very wording of his catalogues, 
which gave one the feeling of knowing and respect¬ 
ing him. He leaves behind a reputation as a good, 
honest man, such as is given to few people to leave. 
Ben Maser, Philadelphia Co., Pa., March 6, 1935. 
Geo. W. Park Seed Co.: Mr. Park was the master 
of American seedsmen. He took special care of the 
wants of the garden lover who desired interesting va¬ 
riety; he supplied his appreciative friends with rare 
and standard varieties at small cost. He searched far 
and wide to make his valuable catalog the most inter¬ 
esting and comprehensive one in America. Theodore 
I. Grabner, Queens Co., N. Y. Feb. 26, 1935. 
Dear Friends: May we all let our lives be cultiva¬ 
ted with God's word so that they may bloom and bring 
forth fruit as this dear man of God did. Mrs. Keeser 
Brasking, Orange Co., Va., March 28, 1935.
