A MESSAGE TO OUR MANY CUSTOMERS 
We would like to shake hands with you and thank you 
personally for the many favors you have extended us from 
Maine to Oregon, the past few years, but this we know is 
impossible. But at any rate you know our heart is in the 
right place. We are always at your service and willing at 
all times to serve you in the best possible manner. 
The greatest pleasure we have had this season, is the large 
number of letters that are coming in saying that our stock 
was fine and asking for our 1937 catalog. This makes us 
feel good, and shall try and fill every order this season with 
the very best that we have in all cases, and still keep this 
good feeling with all our customers. When you purchase from 
us by mail we want you to feel that you have purchased your 
stock from an old friend, and do not forget if you are ever 
in Battle Creek, Michigan, call on us; you have the key and 
are welcome. Just make yourself at home. 
IMPORTANT 
Last season we were snowed under with orders sent in at 
the last of the season. If possible order early. If you do 
not have the cash on hand, just fire the order on and we 
will look out for you in advance, and will bill you 10 days 
in advance of shipping date and you can send money order 
or check at that time. In this manner we can give you a 
little better attention. 
TRY OUR SPECIAL COLLECTIONS 
These are known from coast to coast, as we send out only 
the finest stock on these. As you will probably understand 
that our business has grown from making new friends from 
year to year! If you are pleased this year you will return 
next season and bring your friends along with you. We want 
your business and are always ready to give our customers a 
little more than a square deal. 
SPECIAL NOTICE—If you send us an order, large or small 
and will send us with the order the names of two friends you 
think will be interested in our dahlias we will include one extra 
dahlia with your order, this must be our selection, however. 
Guarantee—-We absolutely guarantee to please you in every 
way; our prices are based on plants in many cases, but if we 
should ship you roots in some cases it will be without extra 
charge to our customers.

Important Notice:—Do not order C.O.D. as this will cause 
a delay in shipment of plants or sprouted roots. All our 
packages are shipped under a state inspection label, rush 
live plants and must not be delayed.
