GREEN PASTURES GARDENS 
* JULIUS ANTHON 
2215 East 46th Street, Seattle, Wash. 
Sends you greetings and many thanks for your part in the past good year! We wish to remind 
you that our small establishment sends out a new catalog only biennially. If you have destroyed 
or lost your copy we shall be glad to send you another. 
In our cramped quarters growing space — “standing room” — is a burning question. We have 
never had compunctions about discarding inferior plants, nor even such as were a little lacking; 
only when “good” plants remain in the nursery for want of acquaintanceship are we disturbed. 
We have to hustle our plants into the world so soon as possible; we are therefore offering our new 
things at once though we have not many of each. Our most difficult-to-move plants have been 
put into pots.
