This letter from Mr. Walter Adams, Allentown, Penna., tells 
better than we can, the ideal toward which we are striving. 
“Received my nursery stock and I was very 'proud and satisfied 
with it all. I just have to let you know that by all means I am more 
than satisfied. So I want to thank you for your up-to-date stock, 
your honesty and your service. Revnemher, a satisfied customer is 
always the best advertisement. Take my word for it. I’m one. Thank 
you.” 
More than 10% of our business comes from those to whom 
we have never sent a catalog. Their friends and neighbors have 
told them about us and allowed them to use their catalog. 
Guaranteed Quality 
We are Nursery Specialists with a life-time of experience. We 
could write pages about new methods of propagation, about 
grading, about packing, but we can sum it all up in this sentence— 
We realize that our success depends absolutely on your satisfaction. 
Therefore we grow carefully, we grade carefully, we handle 
carefully, we pack carefully SO THAT OUR STOCK WILL 
GIVE YOU SATISFACTION. In fact, WE mjARANTEE 
YOUR SATISFACTION. 
Why You 
Should Buy From a Nursery 
The growing and handling of nursery stock is a highly specialized 
business. It requires expert knowledge and handling. The average 
store or building IS NOT SATISFACTORY FOR KEEPING 
NURSERY STOCK. It is entirely too dry, too warm. 
We completed last year what is generally conceded to be the 
finest and most modern building in America for handling our 
stock. We maintain a humidity of almost 100—the building is 
insulated with cork and kept cool and dark (not a single window 
in our main storage). There is not a floor of any kind, just dirt, 
because any kind of floor makes it too dry. Some items must be 
kept in sand, others in peat, some in dirt, etc. In short because 
Nursery Stock is LIVING PLANTS it must be handled properly 
and when you buy from INTER-STATE, there is no needless 
handhng, no harmful exposme. The stock carefully packed and 
with all its natural vitality and vigor, is shipped from our plant 
DIRECT TO YOU. 
We do make mistakes, in spite of our best intentions and when 
we do WE WANT YOU TO TELL US ABOUT IT. 
PLANT

knowledge, equipment and organization. Go through this catalog 
carefully, select what you want and send us your order. We

Because of increased volume, you will find that we have MADE 
LOWER PRICES ON MANY SEEDS. But most important to 
you is this—INTER-STATE SEEDS ARE GUARANTEED 
TO GROW IN YOUR GARDEN. We do not have the room to 
go into great detail about our seeds. We have selected only the 
best varieties. Whether for vegetables or flowers, send us your 
seed order. When you get them, notice how bright, fresh and 
clean they are—notice how many seeds there are in the packets. 
We guarantee your satisfaction. A trial will prove it.
