To My Flower Loving Friends 
T his is a list of Supreme Novelties. Most of them have received high awards from either Royal 
Horticultural Society of England (R.H.S.) or the All America Committee (A.A.S.) Those 
marked (New) are now under trials and will be the 1937 novelties of other catalogs. Every one of 
them is unsurpassed in its class. 
The seeds are the very finest that money can produce. I believe you want such seeds and I pay 
from two to ten times the cost of ordinary strains to get them for you. 
Outstanding flowers in your garden are produced only by planting the very finest seeds of 
superior strains. Your garden work and expense is identical whether you produce ordinary flowers 
or prize winners. Ry paying a few cents more for the best seeds of finest strains you will he repaid a 
thousand fold in ioy and satisfaction.
