PREMIUMS 
For several years it has been a great pleasure to us to dis¬ 
tribute free to our customers, as a tangible evidence of our 
appreciation of their patronage, thousands of Hardy Chinese 
Elm Trees and thousands of beautiful, hardy Iris. We believe 
in so doing we have made a distinct contribution to the im¬ 
provement of the homes of our customers. The many grate¬ 
ful letters and personal thanks we have received bear elo¬ 
quent testimony to this fact. 
This year we are substituting Darwin Tulips for Iris, the 
reason being that our Mr. Richard Burn has for some years 
enjoyed immensely the wondrous beauty of these charming 
flowers in his own garden in the spring of the year, and he is 
anxious that our customers may share with him this uplift¬ 
ing and inspiring enjoyment. 
We could possibly at less cost to ourselves offer a few 
dollars in prizes in a so-called contest which usually is noth¬ 
ing short of a gamble. We feel, however, that our policy of 
giving premiums based on the amount purchased is in har¬ 
mony with the current philosophy of ‘‘the greatest good to 
the greatest number.” 
Assuring you of our appreciation of your business, I am, 
Your very truly, 
RICHARD BURN
