The Glory of Your Garden 
Somethin* 
It is a common saying that the love of 
flowers is universal. Considering that the 
tendency of the age Is to subdivide occupations and interests, it is not surprising that many 
of us find much leisure time given to the study and cultivation of flowers. The stress of 
every day life finds much relaxation in the flower garden, which affords varied interest, 
exercise and profitable pleasure the year round. And we find there much encouragement 
in the work of one’s own hands. Not only does personal work make 
one’s garden seem better and more attractive, but out of it develops 
a keen interest in comparison and competition. It is a happy thought 
for all that out of the smallest plot of ground one can raise the 
finest flowers that can be grown, and a happy thought for us, that 
we can present to all flower lovers in this and other lands the op¬ 
portunity to provide for their gardens all kinds of plants at a minimum 
of expense. That is why we take pride in the presentation of our new 
Year Book. Through its yearly distribution we have established a cli¬ 
entele of which any concern may well be proud. We take this opportunity 
of expressing our appreciation of this success which many thousands of 
customers have brought about through their repeated purchases. Our book 
comes to you now offering at manufacturers’ and growers’ prices the stock 
of the largest plant producing establishment of its kind in the United 
States, offering something for every garden—everything for some gardens. 
We believe, therefore, that this catalogue, which we hope you will find pleas¬ 
ing and helpful, is 
entitled to your 
fullest consideration. w li S/19/ %
