With Its Wide Variety of 
Roses, Plants, Seeds 
Presents to You One of the Greatest 
Catalogues of the Year. 
ThP dAKV nf Yaui* ^ common saying that the love of flowers is 
■ iBV vivijr wi ■ WMi vaiucil universal. Considering that the tendency of the age 
IS to subdivide occupations and interests, it is not surprising that many of us find much leisure 
time given to the study and cultivation of flowers. The stress of every day life finds much relaxa¬ 
tion in the flower garden, which affords varied interest, exercise and profitable pleasure the 
year round. And we find there much encouragement in the work of one’s own hands. Not only 
does personal work make one’s garden seem better and more attractive, but out of it de¬ 
velops a keen interest in comparison and competition. It is a happy thought for all that out of 
the smallest plot of ground one can raise the finest flowers that can be grown, and a happy thought 
for us, that we can present to all flower lovers in this and other lands the opportunity to provide 
for their gardens all kinds of plants at a minimum of expense. That is why we take pride in the 
presentation of our new Year Book. Through its yearly distribution we have established a clientele 
of which any concern may well be proud. We take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation 
of this success which many thousands of customers have brought about through their repeated 
purchases. Our book comes to you now offering at manufacturers’ and growers’ prices the stock of 
the largest plant producing establishment of its kind in the United States, offering something for 
every garden—everything for some gardens. It is, in brief, a floricultural department store at your 
door. Extraordinary values fill its pages. Goods are of the highest McGregor quality. Prices are 
unprecedentedly low. Every offering helps to provide for a more beautiful garden and we be¬ 
lieve, therefore, that this catalogue, which we hope you will find pleasing and helpful, is entitled 
to your fullest consideration.
