To Our Customers and Friends: 
Beautify America! 
La Crosse, Wisconsin, 
Spring, 1936 
The past four or five years have been very trying to us all and to help bring cheer, 
beauty and color back in our lives we are making a stupendous free offer of flower seeds. 
The drab depression years which are now behind us should be fittingly celebrated by 
beautifying our homes and gardens. Take advantage of this generous offer of free flower 
seeds by mailing your order before April 1st, 1936. See the free flower seed offer below. 
68 years in the seed, plant and nursery business; three generations is a long time. 
During that period of time we have tried to serve you promptly and with the finest stock 
that grows. We have developed in that span of time the largest general seed, nursery 
and plant business in the United States. We try through modern methods in producing, 
cleaning and filling your orders promptly to merit your continued patronage. 
Triple-A-Tested Seeds! Read about our Triple-A-Tested seeds Page 4, and the descrip¬ 
tion of our establishment Page 5, and then purchase Salzer's Northern Grown seeds. 
Never in the past twenty-five years have we had such rock bottom prices nor so many 
5c packets of seeds. 
La Crosse develops more films than any other city in the United States and we are 
offering as an added service this year, to develop your films or rolls quickly and promptly 
in the best professional manner. Thousands of our customers this past year sent us their 
films for development and we wish to call attention of our other customers, to this service.
