Breaking Records 
We are both pleased and proud that our sales for the 
year of 1938 broke our ‘‘all time record” for quantity. 
As usual, most of our orders came from customers 
| who had previously purchased from us, and we feel that 
this is as it should be.

So long as we can retain our old customers, and add 
new ones each year, the continued success of our business 
is assured. 
It is our sincere desire and purpose to please each 
customer by filling orders with best quality, true-to-name, 
liberally graded roots, cut from thrifty young plants— 
just such roots as we, ourselves, would be proud to receive 
and plant. 
May we suggest that you add to your planting at least 
a few of the newer varieties, only the best of which will 
be offered in our Catalog from year to year as stocks be¬ 
come available at reasonable prices. 
Very sincerely, 
HARMEL PEONY COMPANY 
“WE SELL LARGE ORDERS EACH YEAR TO MANY 
OF THE HEAVIEST BUYERS OF PEONIES AND WE 
FEEL THAT OUR PEONIES WILL ALSO PLEASE 
YOU.”
