APPRECIATION 
We wish to extend our thanks to those who, af¬ 
ter growing our bulbs or seeing our flowers, have 
been kind enough to recommend our bulbs to their 
friends. We also wish to acknowledge the many 
letters we have received praising our bulbs and 
the flowers grown from them. To all our friends and 
customers, new and old, we extend our best wishes 
for a happy and successful New Year, 1938. 
OUR MONEY-RACK GUARANTEE 
Remember that if any bulb or root obtained from 
us is not exactly as represented to be or what you 
have a right to expect, they may be returned to us 
and all charges refunded to you at once. 
OUR TWINS 
Our twin grandsons, Raymond and Russell, 
passed their third birthday November 7 and are get¬ 
ting to be real big boys. Of course they have to ov¬ 
ersee everything and watch out that things are done 
just right and it keeps them pretty busy. They look so 
much alike they are always being miscalled, but 
they set us right in a hurry. They like to entertain 
callers and are always ready to put on their act. 
VISIT OUR GARDENS 
You are always welcome to visit our gardens. 
Come any time—in the spring when tulips, iris, and 
peonies are in bloom; later, from July 15 to frost, 
we have acres of gladiolus and dahlias blooming. 
The best way to select new varieties for your 
garden is to see them growing. We also have many 
perennial and annual plants which are very interest¬ 
ing. You are under no obligation to buy. 
We also do a complete florist business during 
the summer season, furnishing flowers for any oc¬ 
casions—weddings, funeral designs, and so on. 
We are located one and one-half miles S. E. of 
the Waterloo City limits on Highway 218. 
We grow the bulbs we sell you and we en¬ 
deavor to give you the best that money can buy and 
at a reasonable price. We don't mean at the lowest 
prices, because we have found that low priced 
goods generally have little else to recommend them 
and that if a product is not good enough to be sold 
at a reasonable price, it should not be sold at all. 
FLOWER AND VEGETABLE SEEDS 
We carry a large assortment of common and 
novelty seeds. We can furnish you with almost any 
seed or bulb grown. We will be pleased to handle 
your requirements in any amount. Only the best 
seeds and reliable brands are sold.
