GROWERS OF FINE PERENNIALS

Dear Friend: 
We again present to you one of America's foremost 
lists of perennial plants. Since it is impossible for us to 
contact each and everyone of you personally, we make this 
catalog "Our Messenger of Good Will". 
We want it to convey to you our thanks and appre¬ 
ciation for your past favors and those we know we will receive 
in the future. We want you to realize that your confidence in 
us shall not go unrewarded. We pledge ourselves to project 
our reliability, service and quality material into the future 
so that you may benefit. 
We enter this fall period with a cheery note of 
optimism. Excellent growing conditions and the earnest efforts 
of experienced propagators have united in producing the finest 
type of stock that is to be found anywhere. We have for sale 
this season a most wonderful assortment of plant material. We 
have given our fields every care and they are now abundant with 
large, healthy plants. Our greenhouses too are continuously 
bending every effort towards the propagation of the most worthy 
material. 
With all these conditions present, and with your 
confidence in us, we look forward to a pleasant period of 
business relationship with you. 
Most sincerely yours.
