Read Carefully the Following: 
OUR GUARANTEE. We have a tremendous plant, and a very large investment, which is a valuable asset. We guar¬ 
antee to our customers complete satisfaction. We give superior quality, make prompt and efficient shipments, and answer 
promptly any and all correspondence. We give freely any and all information. We are the largest producers in the world 
devoted to the propagation of water lilies, by virtue of which you are assured of honest dealing, high quality, efficient 
service, and lowest prices. 
ORDER EARLY. This is most important. Remember our guarantee. All we ask is your cooperation. We suggest that 
you order at once, and leave to us time of making shipments. All orders are shipped in rotation. While we have the 
largest acreage in the world devoted to the culture of water lilies and goldfish, yet there are certain varieties of fish and often 
water lilies which are short. It takes time to grow both of these products, for they cannot be manufactured. 
SHIPMENTS. All plants, roots, etc., are carefully packed and leave our station in perfect condition. All fish are in 
perfect condition. We guarantee good arrival of both. All fish shipments are made by express collect unless otherwise 
indicated. Should any shipments arrive in bad condition, take a bad order report, and we will replace. We don’t leave 
the matter to you. All plants guaranteed to arrive in perfect condition, and guaranteed to grow, and please you. Could 
any one do more? 
PRICES AND TERMS. Our prices are net cash, and effective January 1, 1939. No orders are entered unless accom¬ 
panied with funds to cover. We believe that our prices will be found as low as any offered by responsible growers. We ask 
that you bear in mind, when considering prices, that we only ship the best material selected from our large production, and 
that we are not distributors, but actual producers; and furthermore, that we stand squarely behind our products. Do 
others? Just compare and see. 
Be sure to give us name in full, post office, R. F. D., street address, name of city or town and state.
