HARDY PLANTS 
in quantity of 
unusual quality 
L AST summer was the most favorable summer for 
Jthe growing of hardy plants in the open fields we 
have ever experienced in the history of our business. 
Due to these unusual weather conditions we were able to 
produce about V /2 million more plants than we did the year 
before. The same good results were obtained in growing 
our Gladioli. 
In view of these facts we want to pass on to our customers 
a share of our good fortune in the following manner. 
For each $10.00 worth of Hardy Plants ordered from our 
spring catalogue you may select $2.00 worth of Gladioli 
Primulinus, free of charge from our Gladioli list enclosed 
with our plant catalogue. This offer is good for as long as 
our Gladioli Primulinus hold out. 
Furthermore, we guarantee, that each and every plant and 
bulb we send out is true to name, of the highest quality 
and a strong field grown clump or root, and if upon receipt 
they are not what you expect them to be, do not have to he 
paid for. 
Our 1923 Hardy Plant Catalogue is note ready. May we send you a copy?
