No Fuss of Growing from Seed—They are Scientifically Grown Ready to Transplant 
What a disappointment it is after waiting for plants bought and placed in a garden to find, when they come into flower, that the 
colors are unattractive, the varieties very common. After weeks of expecting a beautiful show of flowers the result is a hodge-podge. 
Maybe this is the reason that thousands of people in this Albany area buy their plants from Danker, year aftter year. Our plants 
are all grown from the finest seed obtainable and from seed, moreover, which has been carefully tested so that we know the quality 
of plants and flowers the seed will produce. We offer nothing to our customers until we have grown it and have proven to our own 
satisfaction that it will be a desirable addition to your garden. 
We have a splendid, most complete collection of plants for your selection this spring.
