To Our Customers— 
You have before you the 60th annual spring seed and nursery catalog issued 
by our company. With this catalog, we extend our greetings to you for 1936, our best wishes for a 
successful garden and thanks for the orders you have sent us in the past. 
When you begin to plan your garden, you will find this catalog a real help 
to you. The full page charts on Annual Flowers, Perennial Flowers and Vegetables, give you easily 
understood information which would require hours of study if you were to find such concise information 
elsewhere. The descriptions and illustrations will be helpful too and the color plates will show you the 
true beauty of many items. 
The best new things in Annual Flowers which have been introduced recently, 
are grouped on pages 2, 1 5 and 16. These are the All-America and other new kinds you have 
been reading about and talking about in your garden club or wherever gardeners gather. 
You will find that our list of seeds and plants will provide you with everything 
your garden needs. The wide assortment we offer you here, is the result of years of experiencing the 
varied requirements for seeds and plants for our hundreds of thousands of customers in all parts of the 
United States. 
Prices have been reduced in a great many cases this year, due to two things, first 
better harvest season last fall, and second, increased sales last year over the previous year. The result¬ 
ing savings to us are being passed on to you in the form of lower prices on many items. 
All of the seeds and plants we offer,have been carefully grown from tested parent 
stock. All of our growers are men of long experience, always watchful for quality and productivity. 
Our test gardens in Cleveland and Medina give us further check on quality and habits of the various 
items. 
Located as we are, practically in the center of population in the United States, 
parcel post, express and freight service is very fast, to every corner of our big country. We are even 
prepared to ship in emergencies by air mail or express from the Cleveland Airport, for which latter 
and for heavy freight shipments, only, regular cost of such transportation is added. Everything else is 
shipped post paid. 
We shall be happy to have

m i _ /"A 1_I am sending this 
en to vJraer catalog to you 
early enough so you can make up your order 
with the least amount of rush. We like to 
have the orders come in as early as possible 
so we can spread our work over a longer period 
than if everyone waited until planting time. 
But if you cannot order early, send your order 
in any time and we will take good care of it. 
How to Order JZ! or . d iiL b “ n .™ 
bound in this book, perforated, so you can 
tear them out easily. We like to have you 
use the order blank in ordering because it 
insures accuracy in filling your order when 
we receive it. When you are ready, tear out 
one of the order blanks—print or write your 
full name and full address in the spaces pro¬ 
vided at the top. Then list all the flower and 
vegetable seeds you need. Do the same with 
the bulbs, shrubs and plants you wash to 
order. You wall see a column on the order 
blank, headed “Variety Number.” Every 
variety in the catalog has a number just 
in front of the name. If you wish, you only 
need to fill in those numbers on the order 
blank instead of writing out the names of 
varieties. We do like to have you use the 
numbers, even though you use the names, 
too, for it speeds things up here when we 
fill your order and helps us to be accurate. 
A tough, self-addressed envelope is enclosed 
with the catalog. Use it when you mail us 
your order. You may pay by Money Order, 
Check, or if you must send cash or stamps, 
be sure to register the envelope. 
Electric seed germinators of our own design give 
us accurate results.

conducted.
