OSCAR H. WILL 8c CO., BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA 
3 
T his is our 55th catalog. Oscar H. Will, whose pic¬ 
ture you see at the right, started at Bismarck to 
sell seeds and plants in 1882. Oscar H. Will II, 
whose picture you see at the left, hopes to follow his grand¬ 
father’s footsteps in the business. He represents our third < ^ 
generation. Dakota has, after all, been a pleasant and in- 
teresting home for most of us during three generations, 
- and it is almost a certainty that 
it will continue to be so in spite 
of occasional interruptions of bad 
years and drought. 
North Dakota was in very 
much better condition in 19 37 
than it was in 193 6, and we be¬ 
lieve that 19 38 will mark still 
greater improvement. 
We are better prepared than 
ever to serve our increasingly 
numerous customers in this, our 
55th year, and you will find some 
new and valuable things to try 
in our 19 38 catalog as well as 
our old standard introductions 
which are especially adapted to 
the Great Plains region. 
Sincerely, 
OSCAR H. WILL & CO.
