FOREWORD 
"J'HE fundamental law of success is order. Systematic arrange¬ 
ment of your thoughts, your plans and your acts assures you 
against lost time. The foregoing statement being true, it be¬ 
hooves one to immediately plan for the coming season. We 
therefore submit this 1938 catalog with the hope that you will 
make a selection therefrom to meet your needs. 
We are building for permanence and our organization is 
glad to extend credit to worthy greenhouse operators. In the 
past our losses have been below the average in our dealings 
with conscientious growers. This policy is reflected in the con¬ 
stant increase of orders for our products, for which we thank our 
many patrons, both in this country and abroad. 
The prices quoted in this catalog cancel any previous issue 
and pertain to rooted cuttings except where noted. 
We were fortunate this past season to be the recipients of 
highest awards on our novelties, receiving the Dorner Memorial 
Gold Medal on vase of 100 Pink Treasure and the American 
Carnation Society's Gold Medal as a sweepstakes prize on vase 
of 100 King Cardinal at the Chicago, Illinois, exhibition, Febru- 
ry 8th, 1937. Our seedlings were awarded three silver medals 
at the Chrysanthemum Society of America meeting in Cincinnati, 
November 10th, 1937. 
Our greenhouses are always open for inspection to florists. 
All our glass area is now located on State Road No. 29, one-half 
mile north of Marion County line in Hamilton County, thirteen 
miles northwest of Monument Circle, Indianapolis, however, our 
present post office address is Station A, Indianapolis, Indiana. 
We cannot allow any cash discount. Unless special terms 
have been arranged, bills are due the first of the month follow¬ 
ing date of invoice. 
We prefer to ship via Railway Express in severe weather.
