NEWS 
TO OUR CUSTOMERS: 
A new planting season is at hand and we present to customers our list of every¬ 
thing for garden and home planting. We have been building this business for many years 
and have witnessed an increase in satisfied customers from a few to many thousands. We 
have been able to do this by handling only true-to-name varieties of seeds, plants and 
nursery stock. 
We endeavor to fill all orders promptly and correctly, but errors do occur. PLEASE 
FEEL FREE TO CALL ANY ERROR to our attention, and we are more than glad to 
correct it. 
We invite you to visit our new display grounds and make selections from our stock, 
Anything that is not listed, we will be glad to quote prices; also, on larger quantities. 
We appreciate the business given us in 1939 and trust that we will be able to merit 
your business in 1940.
