As our annual catalog greets you, twenty years have rolled 
away. Many of our old customers are still with us. We must 
rack our brains to find the best way in which to spend those 
few years of leisure which are given to all of us. Nature and 
man alone hold the key to success. We do not try to ex' 
aggerate any of our varieties of plants. But we do live in an 
ideal locality, as we can grow anything under various condi' 
tions. Some varieties will do better in one locality than an' 
other. Our daily task only forces the soil to yield up its 
riches by growing the best nursery stock man can grow. Our 
new tract of land was untouched by plow until we first tilled 
the soil in 1935. It seems to have had the magic hand as we 
have the best strawberry plants that we have had in 10 years, in 
spite of the very dry season. So we have adopted a policy of 
cooperation, both with Nature and with our customers, with 
plants always at reasonable prices, and that policy has met with gratifying approval and success. We are 
glad to feel that we have established a confident and appreciative list of patrons who always look to us for 
their nursery needs. We would like you to honor us by adding your name to this list, and we feel sure that 
you will never regret a decision to sample our quality and efficiency. 
Thanking you very kindly for reading our little catalog. Not as flashy as some but have tried to make 
it different. We hope to serve you all in 1937 with your orders, large or small. 
Yours very truly,
