Announcement from Mr. Park. 
TO MY ESTEEMED PATRONS:—After supplying for many years to the flower-loving 
public, seeds, bulbs and plants to beautify their gardens and homes, I have decided to retire 
from that delightful business, and have disposed of my interests to Mr. James W. Bryan, who 
has associated with him Messrs. J. G. Fisher and J. H. Fisher, who will continue the work 
under the name of LaPark Seed and Plant Company. 
I believe these men to be honorable in their dealings, and that they will use their best en¬ 
deavors to satisfy and please their patrons, and I bespeak for them the same liberal patronage 
and consideration that has been accorded to me throughout the many years of my business 
career. I shall continue to greet my friends through the columns of Park’s Floral Magazine, 
as I shall remain its Editor, at least for a while, but the subscription and business de¬ 
partments of the Magazine will be conducted by the new firm. 
My friends, it is not without feelings of sadness that I part with you in a business way. 
The many beautiful letters that have accompanied your orders from year to year have devel¬ 
oped a warm and true friendship that I shall ever cherish; and the happy experiences through¬ 
out the years of my business career—from the time I started as a youth, at “the old homestead 
in the vaje,” until I leave beautiful LaPark, will be to me a joy in memory as long as life. 
Adieu, my dear friends. May success and pleasure ever result from your floral work, and may 
no thorns or briars obstruct life’s pathway; but may that pathway for each one of you be car¬ 
peted with the loveliest of mosses, and brightened with the sweetest and richest of flowers. 
LaPark, Pa., Feb. 20,1918. , Geo. W. Park. 
Announcement by the New Management. 
=>N TAKING CHARGE of the extensive business in Seeds, Bulbs and 
Plants that through many years of industrious effort has been built up 
by Mr. Park, we wish to assure the patrons that they can depend upon 
the same honest, square, liberal and efficient service in filling their orders that 
they have enjoyed for so many years at the hands of Mr. Park. It is our plan 
and policy to conduct the business as closely as possible along the same lines as 
Mr. Park has carried on the business. 
Owing to the war causing an abnormal demand for the products of the Veg¬ 
etable garden we are giving a prominent place in our Catalogue to a list of the 
best kinds of Vegetable Seeds, and we hope to receive a liberal share of your 
orders for these seeds. As our seeds are all tested, you can always depend 
upon them for vitality, and the quality is assured by the stock being the product 
of reliable growers. We therefore invite your orders with confidence that you 
will be more than satisfied—delighted—with the seeds we supply. Our prices 
you will find very reasonable, and we ask you to compare them with the prices 
of other reliable seedsmen. 
Flower Seeds have been a speciality with Mr. Park, and his name has been 
a synonymn for quality. The flower seeds we offer this year are practically all of 
his stock, and can be relied upon. We propose to keep up the standard of these 
seeds in vitality and quality, and we solicit your orders with the assurance that 
you will be pleased with our seeds and our treatment.
