REPLACEMENT 
GUARANTEE 
Plants are guaranteed to be 
true-to-name, and to arrive 
in a live, healthy condition. 
We will replace any plants 
that fail to grow within six 
months after planting, if 
you think that we or the 
plants were at fault, provided 
the account is settled within 
regular 30-day terms and 
report of failure is made with¬ 
in the six-month period. The 
cost of planting or transpor¬ 
tation of replacements is 
borne by the purchaser. 
Nothing V/e Can Say Counts for as Much as V/hat Others Say 
These letters were received during 1939. They are 
selected from more than 400 similar expressions. 
They were not asked for; not paid for. They came to 
us only because the quality of our plants and service 
provided the impulse to write us. 
We will be more than pleased to have your orders 
during 1940 and to handle them so as to encourage 
your similar expressions of satisfaction. 
For 30 Years 
December 5, 1939. That I have dealt 
with your firm for at least 30 years is proof 
of your high standing.— Mrs. S. A. Brown, 
Harbour Acres, Port Washington, L. I., N. Y. 
More Than 20 Years 
April 27, 1939. It was interesting to read, 
in your 1939 Catalog, of the many old-time 
friends who are still “satisfied” customers. I 
believe my first order was in 1918 and I 
belong on the list of satisfied customers for 
more than 20 years.— Mrs. Gross R. 
Scruggs, Dallas, Texas. 
”1 Feel Like an Empress” 
March 29, 1939. The six Tree Peonies I 
got from you last fall are in bloom now and 
they are perfectly beautiful—the loveliest 
things I have ever seen! No wonder the 
Emperor of China kept them as his exclusive 
property as long as he could! Just owning 
these six makes me feel like an Empress!—■ 
Mrs. J. B. Knicht, Columbus, Ga. 
”Your Attitude” 
July 6, 1939. Y our plants are remarkably 
line and turn out as represented. Each is a 
valuable garden plant. Your attitude to¬ 
ward establishing pleasing and satisfying 
relationship between buyer and seller has 
been constantly evidenced in my dealings 
with you. I am getting every member of two 
clubs to buy hemerocallis.— Mrs. G. Schoen- 
beck, Peoria, III. 
From the Bayou State 
November 9, 1939. I have never received 
better plants, in better condition, and have 
so stated to my garden club members.— 
Mrs. Fayette C. Ewing, “Nosegay,” 
Alexandria, La. 
The Acid Test 
September 2, 1939. Farr is copocetic 
when it comes to lilacs, peonies, and hemer¬ 
ocallis; I’ve given them the acid test.— 
Mrs. Fred Bahnson, Winston-Salem, N. C. 
The Vicar’s Garden 
March 29, 1939. Let me say the Daylily 
roots which I have received from you have 
been excellent. This year I will have about 
60 choice Hemerocallis blooming in my small 
city garden, which is my one luxury. 
Every spring I give a lecture on preparing 
beds and caring for plants, to 75 people. I 
keep up the tradition of Old England in 
reference to the clergyman’s garden.— Rev. 
Alfred M. Longmire, West Somerville, 
Mass. 
Paradise on Earth 
November 13, 1939. Most of the Lilacs 
I bought from you in 1932 are now 7 to 9 
feet high. I feed them well and water them 
properly. They bloom beautifully. 
When we returned from Florida last May 
our garden was a paradise. 
An artist from Detroit came out to see us 
and raved and raved. She brought out 
another artist next day who said “No one 
could have made me believe I would ever 
see such beauty—it is the nearest to heaven 
I ever expect to get.” The point here is 
that most of the raving was about your 
Lilacs. I thought you’d like to know.— 
Wm. S. Hazelton, Pleasant Ridge, Mich. 
Lilac Enjoyment 
July 6, 1939. I have bought a good many 
things from you in many years gone by and 
in each purchase the goods have been more 
than satisfactory. 
Several years ago I purchased from you a 
collection of Lilacs, and I want to tell you 
how much satisfaction I derive from them. 
Each year they have given an abundance of 
bloom, but in the season just past they were 
more beautiful than ever. Many people 
admire them, but Leon Gambetta seems to 
carry off most of the honors. Best wishes for 
your continued success.—F. E. Green, 
Littleton, N. H. 
April 1, 1939. Although there are many 
near-by nurseries from whom I could have 
ordered, I chose you because I know that I 
can absolutely depend on you to send good, 
well-grown material.— Mrs. Frederic Sigel, 
Westover House, McEwensville, Pa. 
19 
May 10, 1939. This transaction renews 
an acquaintance with your firm made by my 
father twenty-five years ago.— Mrs. A. T. 
Cantelon, Montgomery, Ala.
