Between YOU and I: 
*\ EC A USE this matter of growing FLOWERS 
is more or less of a fascinating hobby with 
me, perhaps I feel just a little nearer to the 
hundreds of YOU who have placed orders 
with our Garden because of the fact that my 
contact with you has been more than just 
acknowledging the order and then passing 
it on to others for assembling and forwarding. 
• Every order leaving TUCKDAWA GARDEN has 
my personal handling. I want you to have every 
item true-to-name; first class in size and quality, 
and to be packed and shipped to reach you in good 
condition. Yet I cannot guarantee that any plant or 
bulb will grow or live in your own garden, wherein 
conditions are out of my control. 
• For the past twenty-three years I've been bumping 
up against human nature in the hardware business 
in Peru, and I find, whether it's hardware, ham¬ 
mocks or hardy flowers, one ought to be content 
with satisfying 98 percent of his contacts. Anyway, 
I know the feeling that comes with receiving good 
flower stock, also that of opening up questionable 
stuff; and being fortified with that I try to fill 
TUCKDAWA orders in a way to satisfy all of the 
98 percent—and, once-in-awhile, even to "register" 
favorably with one of the remaining two percent. 
• The Garden has many visitors during the grow¬ 
ing and blooming seasons. I hope you may some¬ 
time have the opportunity of enjoying the blooms 
with us. If we can be of any service in your flower- 
growing problems please contact us. Well give 
you all the help we can. If you would like a copy 
of our Garden List to be mailed to some of your 
friends, a postal is all that is necessary—and for 
which courtesy I would be grateful. 
Yours for better flowers— 
R. H. JONES, 
Peru, Indiana. Tuckdawa Garden.
