God's Love and Beauty 
"My Father in Heaven, help me 
never to forget Thy Love to me. It 
comes with the light of the morning, 
and it remains with the light of the 
stars of the night. It looks up at me 
in the beauty of the flower. It 
shines upon me in the smile of a 
friend. All beautiful things are the 
gifts of Thy Love. Help me to be 
thankful, and to link every beauti¬ 
ful thing with Thee. Amen." 
—lohn Henry Jowett. 
My friends, are these your senti¬ 
ments? If not, why not? 
—Geo. W. Park.

D EAR PATRON-FRIENDS : 
In the preparation of our new "Flower Book", this writing of a friendly note to you 
comes as a most pleasant task. 
We count you as friends because of the many letters of co-operation and kindly interest 
which we receive from you, and a warm glow of pride and pleasure comes to us from 
the assurance that you, too, feel this friendship tie. Your generous patronage encourages 
us to begin the New Year with renewed hope, zeal and determination to give to you, if 
possible, even better service. Your needs, wishes and pleasure are of vital concern to 
the Geo. W. Park Seed Co. 
Our chief pride is the quality of the seeds themselves, a quality which has made this 
Company esteemed throughout the nation. All seeds are of the new crop, or bear such a 
test that will satisfy and please those who sow them. The finer strains are all the growth 
of famous specialists—in England, France, Germany, Holland and America—therefore you 
get the very best seeds that can be produced throughout the world. Every packet that 
bears the name of Geo. W. Park contains reliable, high-class seeds, full of life and vigor. 
We guarantee our seeds true to name and sure to grow under favorable conditions. 
All packets sold at the uniform price of five cents a packet; 21 packets $1.00; 43 
packets $2.00; 65 packets $3.00; 110 packets $5.00 with novelty gifts extra, as advertised 
on catalog wrapper. We pack and deliver the seeds by mail, post paid, guaranteeing 
that they will reach you in good condition. Checks and money orders are safest; if stamps 
or cash are sent, we advise that the letter be registered. 
Again we express our grateful appreciation for your good will and patronage and 
assure you that your orders shall have our prompt and careful attention. 
Truly yours. 
Greenwood, S. C. Geo. W. Park Seed Co. 
SPECIAL NOTICE : For the choicest vegetable seeds see pages 76-82. For a full stock of 
summer flowering roots, tubers and bulbs of the highest quality, please see pages 83-93. 
Dear Sirs: There are some who say the age of miracles is over, but, when one grows 
your seeds, this is hard to believe. Surly it must be a miracle when Delphinium seeds 
germinate in ten days, Kalanchoe, Capsicum and White Delphinium in less than two weeks. 
My order to you this year was a token of appreciation for your helpful catalogs. I do not 
believe that I spent a dollar any better in my life than in sending for some of your seeds. 
How you can give such peppy seed for so little I don't know, but you may be sure of my 
seed orders hereafter. 
August, 1938. Mr. Louis P. Rosa, Providence Co., R. I.
