God's Love and Beauty 
"My Father in Heaven, help me 
never to forget Thy Love to me. It 
comes with the light of the morning, 
and it remains with the light of the 
stars of the night. It looks up at me 
in the beauty of the flower. It 
shines upon me in the smile of a 
friend. All beautiful things are the 
gifts of Thy Love. Help me to be 
thankful, and to link every beautiful 
thing with Thee. Amen." 
—John Henry Jowett. 
My friends, are these your senti¬ 
ments? If not, why not? 
Geo. W. Park. 
_JEAR PATRON-FRIENDS : 
With the dawning year—1938—George W. Park Seed Company marks its 70th 
anniversary—three-score and ten years of continuous business operation which could not 
have been possible without your good will and patronage, and which would not have 
been so pleasant and satisfactory without your many kind letters of appreciation. 
The celebration of so important an anniversary as the 70th naturally makes us inclined 
to look backward—to view those years in retrospect, the cherished friendships, the happy 
hours with loved ones, and, above all, the feeling of satisfaction which comes with per¬ 
formance of a task we love. There are none, we think, who have so joyous a work as 
ours and we are ever happy in the thought that Park flower seeds have been the means 
of bringing pleasure to others. 
It is, therefore, with pride in our work that we look forward also to many more use¬ 
ful, happy years. With changing times, costs have risen, yet with deep satisfaction we 
announce that our prices to you have not advanced. As in the past, Park seeds will be sold 
at the uniform price of five'cents a packet, 22 packets, $1.00; 50 packets, $2.00; 77 packets, 
$3.00; 130 packets $5.00. Many of our customers join with their neighbors in ordering, and 
so affect worthwhile savings. 
At these uniformly low prices, we pack and deliver the seeds by mail postpaid, guar¬ 
anteeing that they will reach you in good condition. 
All orders are filled promptly, even during our busiest season. Orders for less than 
$1.00 may be sent in postage stamps; larger sums by money order, registered letter or 
check. We guarantee receipt of the money. 
The chief pride of George W. Park Seed Company is the quality of the seeds them¬ 
selves, a quality which has made this company esteemed throughout the nation. All seeds 
are of the new crop, or bear such a test that will satisfy and please those who sow them. 
The finer strains are all the growth of famous specialists—in England, France, Germany, 
Holland and America—therefore you get the very best seeds that can be produced through¬ 
out the world. Every packet that bears the name of Geo. W. Park contains reliable, high- 
class seeds, full of life and vigoi^ We guarantee our seeds true to name and sure to grow 
under favorable conditions. The full cultural direction book has been sent to many of our 
customers; it contains explicit directions on the planting of seeds, care of plants, etc. If 
you do not have a copy, ask for it. Sent free upon request. 
Again we express our grateful appreciation for your good will and patronage, and 
hope for a continuation of your friendship. All orders will, as in the past, be given our 
best possible attention. • Truly yours, 
Greenwood, S. C. Geo. W. Park Seed Co. 
Praises Our Seeds. I would like to send for $5.00 worth of your seeds. I think your seeds come 
so quickly, and I praise them to everyone. Some think because the catalogue isn't colored the seeds 
are inferior. I tell them they are not, that you purposely do not color your catalogue so that you can 
give the customer more and better-grade seeds for his money. Your seeds are as good as any, if not 
better.—Mrs. Jeff Miller, Dallas County, Iowa. March 30, 1937. _
