oAbout £My oAmbition- 
and Specialties 
Some of my friends call me an idealist, 
and a dreamer. And while it is true that I 
have not made very much money out of my 
business, yet I have had the satisfaction of 
helping make America a more beautiful coun¬ 
try in which to live. 
During the past twenty years, I have lit¬ 
erally shipped thousands of roots and plants of 
Iris, Peonies and Phlox to every state in the 
Union, also to Canada and Mexico. I am sure 
that everyone of them has helped spread cheer, 
capture sunshine and put that sun¬ 
shine into the growers’ hearts. And 
this year I intend to spread the gos¬ 
pel of floral beauty to a still greater 
number of planters, hence this ex¬ 
traordinary message which the ad¬ 
vertising man tells me is necessary 
to put the idea across. 
My get acquainted offers along¬ 
side should interest you. Order right 
from this advertisement and leave it 
to me to fill the orders so that you 
will feel I am entitled to your con¬ 
fidence and patronage.
