T his is what the 
New York Sun said: 
“Among the best of the 
large gardens at this year’s 
Flower Show was this 
lovely terraced tulip gar¬ 
den by Stumpp & Walter 
Co. It won the first prize 
in its class, and the trophy 
of the New York Florists’ 
Club. It is especially inter¬ 
esting for its combination 
of a formal bed against an 
informal background.” 
Trophy

Show 
A spring garden, the Stumpp & Walter Co.’s entry at the 1937 International New York Flower Show. It 
was awarded First Prize and the Grand Trophy 
OUR FORTIETH ANNUAL CATALOGUE 
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE—You 
will find order blanks at page 117; note 
that we include a special blank for plants, 
because these are dispatched at the proper 
planting season, while we aim to ship seeds 
and bulbs the same day your order reaches 
us, unless you wish otherwise. Time will 
be saved if orders and correspondence are 
sent to our New York headquarters. 
A Check, Bank Draft, Post-Office or 
Express Money Order may accompany 
your order, and if you send currency, be 
sure to use registered mail. 
We will be glad to ship seeds, bulbs, and 
fertilizers C. O. D., if you wish, but this 
does not apply to perishable goods, like 
shrubs or plants, which we cannot send 
C. O. D. We are glad to open charge ac¬ 
counts on receipt of the usual trade 
references. 
Our prices are net, with no discounts, 
and always subject to change without notice. 
We make no charge for packing domestic 
shipments, except where special bags are 
necessary. We charge these at cost, but 
allow full credit when they are returned to 
us, prepaid, with the sender’s name and 
address marked on the bundle. 
EXPORT. We are well equipped to 
make shipments to distant points, through 
our Export Department, which will take 
care of the proper packing, delivery to 
steamer, and the preparation of the neces¬ 
sary documents. Purchaser pays actual 
charges for transportation and special pack¬ 
ing for export shipments. 
NON-WARRANTY. In accordance 
with the established custom of the Seed 
Trade, we, Stumpp & Walter Co., give no 
warranty, express or implied, as to descrip¬ 
tion, quality, productiveness, or any other 
matter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants we 
send out, and will not be responsible for 
the crop. 
Experienced gardeners realize that when 
failures occur—and they should happen but 
rarely—they usually are due, not to the 
seed, but to some circumstances of cultiva¬ 
tion, soil or climate over which the seeds¬ 
man has no control. 
Any claim as to shortage, etc., should be 
made promptly, and it will be adjusted to 
your satisfaction. Claims should be made 
within 10 days of receipt of goods; we can¬ 
not consider complaints made after this 
date.
