My Dear Friend 
Ever since we started to grow 
perennial plants, we have grown strictly for 
the wholesale trade. Never in our history 
have we sold to your retail customers, in 
other words when you buy from us, you are 
assured that we, as your wholesale growers 
of fine quality plants, do not come into 
competition with you on your retail sales. 
Our plants are backed by my 
entire life's experience of growing only the 
worthwhile items. This experience, coupled 
with a keen desire to supply you with the 
best possible material, suggests the Joseph 
F. Martin Company as a dependable source for 
your hardy plant needs. 
Sincerely yours,
