A Few Words To Our Trade 
Again we take great pride in presenting our new 
1938-39 price list. We specialize in sweet peas for 
exacting growers and constantly improve our strains to 
meet this demand. Seed stocks are carefully selected and 
new varieties are started from single plants selected in 
our trial grounds. These plants must meet every require¬ 
ment for the florist and grower and every detail of the 
plant is carefully checked before seed stock is worked up 
and released to growers. Many of these selections are 
tried by prominent growers under glass all over the 
country. These growers send us reports on their behavior 
in their respective locality and these notes are again 
checked with our field notes. None are released unless 
they are outstanding. 
This season we are releasing some of the finest 
sweet peas we ever have developed. We have especially 
concentrated on extra long stems, vigorous growth, and 
well set large flowers. It will be impossible for you to 
get any better sweet peas elsewhere at any price. We 
have worked on these new’ strains for the past five years 
or more and are proud to say they are distinct in every 
way. They are unsurpassed. 
We also wish to call your attention to our prices, 
which we believe are very reasonable with seeds of 
highest quality obtainable. 
Each season we receive many letters referring to our 
splendid varieties of sweet peas, which makes us happy 
to know that our customers are satisfied and that we are 
doing our part as Early Flowering Sweet Pea Specialists. 
The following are a few of what growers have to say. 
Topeka, Kans. 
Dear Sirs: 
The Zvol. Cascade is marvelous, some have 18 
inch stems, others are very fine also but do not know the 
names as our grower wanted to plant varieties that are 
commonly planted, so he did not deem it necessary to 
label all varieties. Am sending clippings of crepe paper 
so as to describe the colors more definitelv, as these are 
the ones we sure want next year — So if it is not too 
much trouble I wish you could name these so wc could 
place our order. We bought a number of others that 
our ereennouse man wanted but they are so common and 
we lose too many — Our grower said that peas would 
not bloom and be any good at that time of year. But he 
has changed his mind and can’t understand whe»*e we 
found about such wonderful Sweet Peas. 
Yours Truly,

Orange, Calif. 
Dear Sirs: 
I have just arrived here from my home in the East 
in preparation to sailing to the Orient August 17th. I 
am very anxious to take back with me some of your fine 
sweet pea seeds, so ask if you will send me your latest 
catalogue at once that I may send you my order and 
have these seeds in plenty of time. I have been getting 
these seeds from you for nearly twelve years now and 
find that they grow prolifically in our part of South 
China. 
Yours Truly,

Independence, Mo. 
Dear Sirs: 
The seed I ordered last month is up fine; I think 
every seed grew. Thank you so much. 
Yours Very Truly,
