Foreword 
In making up this 1939 price list it affords me the opportunity to visit with my old friends and I hope 
make a host of new ones* My sincere appreciation to all* for the kind letters and repeat orders are evi¬ 
dence that we have gained your confidence* We will try our best to hold it* Compare my prices and 
quality with any other growers* 
1938 was a fair year for us and provided additional opportunity to select some of the new varieties* 
There seems to be a general feeling that business of all kinds will soon be on the upward trend* We 
look forward to a turning point early in 1939. 
We are reducing the number of varieties so as to allow more time for the newer ones each year. 
We list some of the newer originations and best of the older varieties that will prove good in any 
Glad Garden* Feel free to let us know of your joys and sorrows ; we are always glad to share in your joy 
of growing them and will help in any way we can to overcome your sorrows or disappointments.
