In presenting our thirty-seventh annual 
catalogue, we take occasion to express our 
cordial thanks to all our customers and 
friends, who by their interest, make it 
possible to continue our work. Whether 
you own an estate or have limited garden 
space, there are undoubtedly items listed 
that will prove of interest to you. 
For our part, we strive to satisfy as in 
the past. We offer only the finest stock 
produced, testing thoroughly the newest 
and best as they appear. We leave no 
stone unturned as our contribution to 
horticultural progress. 
With the advance of horticultural adap¬ 
tation one notes the increase in scope of 
civic pride. Horticultural parks and play¬ 
grounds are blossoming forth where none 
grew before. Trees are being planted 
along streets and avenues in even the 
largest cities. The Garden Club movement 
is responsible for much of this develop¬ 
ment, and the marvelous results at the 
World’s Fair in New York has shown the 
world what can be done with a city 
"dump” when energy, brains and money 
RIDGEDALE AND CENTRAL 
get together. Such transformation of eye¬ 
sores to places of beauty go a long way 
towards making the world a better place 
to live in. 
The "Gardens on Parade ” exhibit in 
the Fair has given horticulture impetus. 
Gratitude is owing the sacrificing men, 
and women who outdid themselves work¬ 
ing together to produce such an outstand¬ 
ing horticultural pageant throughout the 
entire season. 
In addition to the wonderful work in / 
"Gardens on Parade”, the landscape ef- i 
fects around the various buildings and 
throughout the Fair area were of high 
order. Many visitors were able to visualize \ 
settings applicable to their gardens and i 
grounds, even though they made no \ 
claims to horticultural knowledge. Hor- \ 
ticulture once again proved its necessity 
as the setting to show off the building and 
complete the piaure. \ 
Among outstanding offerings for next 
year are "Floribunda Roses”, a type that 
has proven its worth and should be grown 
in every garden. 
Our Delphiniums, as usual, are very 
fine. The new white Hybrids are proving 
extremely popular to add accent in plant¬ 
ings of blue varieties. 
A hearty welcome awaits you.
