Our 56th Anniversary 
Dear Reader: 
Fifty-six years ago, in a small. store at 
1581 Myrtle Avenue, just a half block from 
our present location, Mr. Martin H. Brunjes 
started the seed business now known as 
M. H. Brunjes & Sons. At that time we were 
in the midst of a farming district and our 
business was largely with market-gardeners. 
However, in later years land nearby became 
too valuable for farming, and we were soon 
in the heart of a growing city. 
It has always been our aim to secure only 
the best seeds obtainable, regardless of price, 
and it is due to this policy that we have so 
many satisfied customers today and were 
able to erect the modern building at 1581 
Gates Avenue. 
To our customers who have by their 
patronage helped to develop our business, 
and thereby contributed to our success, we 
are very grateful. 
Trusting you will favor us with your valued 
orders, which will have our personal and most 
careful attention, we are 
Yours very truly, 
M. H. BRUNJES & SONS 
1581 Gates Avenue Brooklyn, N. Y.
