PLEASE READ BEFORE 
ORDERING 
In presenting our 1938 catalog, we direct your attention to the fact that we have 
tried to simplify it as much as possible, giving briefer but more accurate descriptions. 
Also we have listed the outstanding varieties, as an aid in choosing from such a large 
list. 
Owing to the well recognized fact that success in gardening depends upon soil, 
fertilizer, weather, drainage, skill and other factors beyond our control, please under¬ 
stand that WE GIVE NO WARRANTY, express or implied, as to the description, 
quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, plants, bulbs, or roots we 
send out, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. Purity and germination, 
when given, are the result of tests and are without warranty. 
ORDER EARLY! Our rush comes in February, March and April. By ordering early 
you will receive better service from full stocks. 
USE THE ORDER SHEET as this will help us in filling your order correctly. Don’t 
write letters on the order sheet. Print your name and address. If your express or 
freight office is different from your post office address, please give both.
