As shown in the map above, Hamburg is within 24 hours of more than 
half the entire United States. The figures as shown in the map are the ap¬ 
proximate number of actual train hours from Hamburg to the various cities. 
The first streamline high-speed train in America, the Burlington’s Original 
Zephyr, makes its daily round trip run through Hamburg. 
The mailman makes us neighbors. Right there in the quiet of your own home, 
you can carefully look through this catalog and select exactly what you want. In a 
few hours your letter reaches us and soon the stock is in your hands 
ready for planting. Of course stock which is ordered early in the 
season, is not shipped until the right time to plant. We unconditionally 
guarantee our stock to reach you in live, first-class growing condition, 
with all its natural vigor and vitality. 
Thus you have right at hand, all the stock, all the service of the 
Inter-State Nurseries—stock and service that have made this the 
largest institution of its kind in America. 
EASY TO ORDER 
Nothing could be easier than sending us an order. You look through the book and select what you 
want. Between pages 4 and 5 is an order blank for nursery stock and between pages 60 and 61, 
an order blank for seeds. Of course you do not have to use these blanks but can write on any 
sheet of paper. If you put your seed order on a separate sheet from your nursery order, then the 
seed order goes right to the seed department without having to go through the nursery department. 
Write down what you want and add up the amount. You can send us Money Order, your check 
or a draft. If you send currency or cash, wrap it in paper and register your letter. You do not 
have to allow anything extra for postage as almost everything in this book is postpaid by us. 
After your order is made out, be sure and write your full name and complete address. If you live 
in the city, give your street and house number or your postoffice box number. If you live in the 
country, give your rural route and box number. Please write your name and address very care¬ 
fully and plainly. 
If you order both seeds and nursery stock, the seeds are shipped to you at once. If it is time to 
plant, then the nursery stock is also shipped to you but in a separate bale. However if it is too 
early then the nursery stock is not shipped until the right time to plant. 
Valuable Planting Guide Free 
With every order of nursery stock, we send you Free a 24 Page Planting Guide. It gives you a 
world of real practical information with many illustrations. It tells you in a clear, simple way how 
to plant so that even if you have never before done any planting, you will have success. It tells 
you how to prune, how to water, how to care for plants over winter, how to arrange shrubs, how 
many bulbs for different size beds, etc. You would not take dollars for this book if you could not 
get another.
