, c :r/ Now, If Ever, Get Guaranteed Stock, 
From a Firm in Which You Have Faith 
In no other line we know is it so important to deal 
with a firm which has earned a good reputation. When 
you purchase Nursery Stock, you buy but the begin¬ 
ning of things. The Flowers, Fruits, and Full Grown 
Plants from seeds or roots develop later, after you have 
spent your time and thought in caring for them. Then 
it is that quality counts, and the little more which you 
paid at the beginning sinks into insignificance as com¬ 
pared with the increased satisfaction you feel from a 
superior product. 
So it pays to prove your firm. This we invite. We 
believe we are right with our aim—our customer’s 
satisfaction. 
We have hitched our reputation to a Star, and on 
every star-sized Rose which you buy from us, you will 
find fastened our copyrighted celluloid star, with the 
name of the Rose on it, as your make-good guarantee. 
The guarantee is as follows: Every Rose must be in 
good condition when received, and, further (and no 
other firm we know stands back of their Roses like 
this), we guarantee every Rose to bloom the first bloom¬ 
ing period after planting (you to protect from insects 
and severe winters). If they do not bloom, you return 
the Star and get your money back. 
A Guarantee depends, not so much upon what is 
said, as upon who says it. This firm is backed by more 
than fifty years’ experience, the training of two gene¬ 
rations, and over twenty years of first-hand active 
study and whole-time participation on the part of the 
present principals. These are the factors which figure 
in the product that this firm and this book offer you. 
The awards from leading National and international 
exhibitions on two continents give evidence of our 
leadership in our line. Our Vice-President is undoubt¬ 
edly the leading hybridizer of Cannas in the world. 
We maintain active affiliation in the National as 
well as state horticultural organizations, especially in 
the American Rose Society. 
We point with especial happiness to the large pro¬ 
portion of our helpers who, except for War Service, 
have been for years a part of our business family. 
Without these faithful helpers, we could not maintain 
the customer confidence which we now enjoy. These 
facts form the foundation upon which we should like, 
in our dealings with you, to raise the structure of 
mutual confidence. In spite of its thorns we think we 
have the most fascinating business on earth. Please 
let us hear from you early.

autumn months we have
