1938 CATALOG and 
PRICE LIST 
Dear Friends: This is your opportunity to have a won¬ 
derful garden at even lower cost than in previous years! 
The BIGGEST VALUE CATALOG we have ever put out! 
As you know, general taxes have mounted tremendously in 
the last few years; special sales taxes, imemployment and 
old-age taxes have added their burden to prices; salaries 
have risen; the price of paper and printing has increased— 
in fact, innumerable ox^erhead expenses have been added to 
our business. Nearly all seedsmen have agreed that prices 
must go up.

Veg-efables fresh from your o^\n garden are 
better flavored. 
For Gladioli like these, 
see Page 10. 
Right noxv, let’s have a little friendly talk on the subject of 
prices. After all, does a high-priced catalog and pretty pictures add 
anything to the value you are to receive in the seed you are buying? 
Here is what we have decided to do for you. Cut several thousand 
dollars from the cost of our catalog, also several hundred dollars 
from postage cost. You are going to receive the benefit of this sav¬ 
ing by receiving fuller packets of the same dependable “Mile High” 
seeds as in former years at even lower prices. 
Note our low prices on large quantities; and note, too, that we 
are now quoting full ^A-lb. packages of beans, peas and corn at only 
double the price of a packet. This replaces our old tri-packet offer. 
Y^ou xvill be surprised to find that this little catalog gives you 
the advantage of selection from a very complete list of Mile High 
vegetable, flower and field seeds, including all the old, standard 
varieties as well as the newest, also the “All America” selections. 
You are familiar with the quality of our Mile High, mountain 
grown seed, and know they are earlier maturing and will produce 
crops of superior type and quality. Mile High seeds ai’e thoroughly 
tested for germination. Our catalog isn’t the finest this year; but 
remember-—“Mile High” seeds are the finest quality obtainable, and 
prices have been kept down to help you have a bigger, better garden 
this year than ever before.
