KAYLOR NURSERIES, BLAINE* WASH. 
Greeting Friends 
Looking back over 1938 we are 
thankful for the kindly letters received 
from those buying stock and finding it 
to foe as represented. Altfoo our nur¬ 
sery is a half mile off the Pacific High¬ 
way, we are glad to say an increasing 
number of folks made the side trip to 
see the gardens. “Let the visitor open 
the sales talk'* is our rule. We are in 
business to sell goods, but do not want 
to mar the pleasure of your visit with 
high pressure stuff. Come and see us. 
We may talk your arm off, but it will 
not be “sales talk.** 
Many new things were added to 
our lists, during the past year. Especially 
is this true of Glads and Dahlias. At the 
same time a larger number were drop¬ 
ped as not up to our standard. Other 
new things tried out are not listed here¬ 
in because they did not come up to ex¬ 
pectations. Good writing, pictures and 
printing are not guarantees of superior 
quality and we prefer to have our bulbs 
and plants bloom in your garden rather 
than on the pages of our catalog. With 
hundreds of new catalogs reaching you 
during the next few months, we wish to 
ask you to remember this statement 
when planning your order for the spring 
of 1939. 
All orders to go C. O. D. must be 
accompanied by an advance payment of 
50c. 
Remit by money order, draft or 
check. If currency and stamps are sent, 
they travel at customer’s risk. Sometimes 
such remittances are lost in the mails. 
We guarantee our stock to be as 
represented, but as many elements beyond 
our control enter into the production of 
crops, our responsibility ends when we 
have delivered shipments to transportation 
companies. If you are not satisfied when 
you receive the goods, send them back 
and get your money. 
If you prefer to have your order 
come transportation charges collect, tell 
us and we will put in more than enough 
stock to pay such charges. Lots of times 
we can send a much larger plant on 
charges collect orders than on those that 
are prepaid. 
On all orders for $1 or less, add 25c 
for sales tax, postage and packing. 
Washington Customers, Please Add 
Sales Tax. 
SPRING PEONY COLLECTION 
Our Spring of 1939 collection con¬ 
sists of six good roots of six fine kinds

season from early to late — a fine garden 
assortment at the very low price of 
$1.25, postpaid. 
A New Way of 
Looking at Glads 
Comparisons are said to be odious;, 
but in an effort to give our customers a 
description of the Glads as; they appear 
to us, we are trying out a new idea in 
catalogs. No Glad in existence has; 
reached perfection, so we are giving 
some of the shortcomings of many var¬ 
ieties. 
WHITE VARIETIES 
In pure snow whites we place Al¬ 
ba tr os first. The florets sometimes come 
badly placed, but have size, quality and 
clearness of color. Maid of Orleans is 
sometimes called a cream, but we con¬ 
sider it a “warm*’ white, and the best 
of its class. Fairly reliable and the 
spikes are always beautiful. Mary Eliza¬ 
beth grows taller than the Maid. The 
florets are not so wide open and carry 
a yellow marking in the throat that 
gives the flower plenty of life. Ruffling 
is heavy and position good for the most 
part. Solveg gave us some fine spikes 
in '38. Tall, wide open florets with a 
brilliant red spot in the center. Some¬ 
times she is a terrible headache with her 
tempermental disposition but we love her 
when she is kind. Euides, rated very 
high in the Eastern states, does not grow 
so tall with us, but its delicately lavender 
tinted florets are beautiful. Ai some¬ 
what larger red spot than Solveg and 
not quite so clear a white in the sur¬ 
rounding petals makes up Bleeding 
Heart, a fine addition to ' the white sec¬ 
tion. 
CREAMS AND CREAM PINK 
Give Maid of Orleans a pink tint¬ 
ing and some ruffling and we have Rose¬ 
marie Pfitzer. Large with many open in 
good placement. Deepen the cream and 
suffuse the pink through the entire flow¬ 
er and you have Lotus. Not so large as 
the Maid and not so many open, but one 
that is necessary. Throw still more pink 
into the combination and we have Fata 
Morgana. Larger and more open >than 
Lotus but not so delicately blended. Ra- 
quel, white and pink, has never lived up 
to its Eastern reputation with us, while 
A. E. Amos, with its pinkish lavender 
shadings on outer petals gives us a tall, 
well proportioned spike of delicate color¬ 
ing. Perhaps the outstanding addition of 
the last few years to this class is Shirley 
Temple. Large, wide open florets, strong 
stems, a “warm" cream shading close to 
a pale yellow makes this flower a favorite 
with every fan and a show prize winner. 
LIGHT PINK 
Replace the cream with white, deep-
