Spring, 1937 
To Our Customers and Friends: 
1937 ushers in a more prosperous era for all of us,-general business conditions are 
better, unemployment is decreasing, farmers are in better financial condition from good 
crops in spite of severe weather last summer,—and with everyone else, we rejoice that 
this ensuing year looks bright. With conditions improving and more money circulating, 
it is inevitable that prices will advance in every line. We are particularly happy to state 
that the prices of our vegetable seeds, flower seeds, plants, roots and bulbs are practically 
the same as last year, and in some instances we have been able to reduce some prices! 
And, better still, at these low prices we have maintained the high Salzer standard of 
quality. Frankly, we do not believe you could purchase better seeds at double our catalog 
prices. 
Triple-A-Tested seeds are available this year again! You can purchase seeds this year 
again with the knowledge that they have been thoroughly tested in our laboratory, in 
our greenhouses, and finally on our Cliffwood Farms, so that every means has been ex¬ 
hausted to give Salzer customers every assurance that Salzer’s Seeds are of high quality. 
And, the prices are the low prices of our now historical "depression days." Again we 
say, we do not believe you could purchase better seeds at double our catalog prices. 
As an added service to Salzer customers this year again, we have arranged for the 
finest film developing, printing and enlarging, as described on Page 160. La Crosse, 
Wisconsin, is the very heart of the film developing industry of the entire United States, 
and we are prepared to give our customers prompt service and high quality work! You 
will note that a Three-Way Service is available to all of our customers, at the very nominal 
sum of 25c. 
You who are interested in house plants, will find a new list of choice and novel plants 
on Page 121,-plants that will be found most desirable for the house or conservatory and 
for the outdoor summer porch, or for the outdoor garden when danger from frost is . past. 
In Iris and in Gladioli, we offer one of the finest and most current listings in the entire 
United States. In Dahlias, we offer an extra choice list of varieties. Our list of Shrubs 
is very complete, in Small Fruits we offer a new Raspberry and Registered Disease Free 
Blackberries! But one could go on and on. Look our 1937 Catalog through from cover 
to cover,—I am sure you will see many things you will want for your garden, your house, 
and for your grounds. Don't overlook the lovely Ville de Paris Clematis on Page 101. 
It is something so different, that you will want one. 
You will notice numerous testimonials in this, our 69th Annual Spring Catalog. None 
of these were solicited and none of them were purchased. 
It will be a pleasure to serve you this year again, and I wish you all the gardening 
success in the world for 1937. 
Cordially yours,
