We are located about 60 miles south of the Twin Cities. We take this opportunity to 
invite our friends to visit us at any time. 
During the course of the flowering season, we have a succession of blooming periods. 
From about May 15th to June 25th, we have something in bloom that is well worth seeing. 
Following in rapid succession and in some cases overlapping, come brilliant showings of 
Phlox Subulata, Tulips, Lilacs, Flowering Crabs, Iris and Peonies. Then during the later 
summer months and early fall, our fields of Phlox and Perennial Asters are gorgeous. 
Our Catalog 
Each year we go over our mailing list and 
take out the names of those who have not 
sent us an order for several years. We do this 
to save expense. However, if you fail to 
receive our book and wish a copy, do not 
hesitate to write for one. 
If you keep our catalog on file, you can 
always order from it and we shall be glad to 
make any adjustments if prices vary. 
Many people send for our catalog who are 
really not interested in sending us an order. 
For this reason, all names are dropped from 
our files and our catalog is sent only to those 
who purchase. Even a $1.00 order is ap- 
preciated. 
During the Peony season, we make a special effort to have a splendid show inside as well 
as our field exhibit. You will enjoy studying and comparing the various varieties of Peonies 
set up in true show form in our always cool exhibition room. 
We will always make you welcome whether you purchase or not. 
We are located in the 
southeast section of Fari' 
bault. Visitors coming to 
Faribault will find this 
map helpful in locating us. 
Visitors always welcome. 
We try to make the time 
you spend with us an en- 
joyable one. 
RIGID PEONY 
SUPPORT 
Choice Peonies should be protected by 
good supports so that the blooms will not 
he beaten to the ground in a windstorm 
or heavy rain. 
We can supply the “Rigid” Peony Sup¬ 
port (shown in the illustration) which is 
the kind we buy for our own use. This 
support is well made of 3-gauge galvanized 
wire—24-inch tops, 48 inches tall. 
Price, f. o. b. Faribault or factory: 
Each, 70c; 12 for $7.00. 
Shipped by freight or express. If 
ordered ahead of time, they can go by 
freight at a good saving. 
Write for prices where larger quantities 
are wanted. 
WE APPRECIATE YOUR ORDERS 
We take this opportunity to thank our many customers from every 
state in the Union for the excellent business they have given us over the 
long period of years we have operated in our present location. 
Each year we try to give you better service at a lower cost. To enable 
us to do this, we must keep our losses as low as possible. A few years 
ago we could ship stock all over the country without first receiving our 
payment. But in recent years, we have lost many small accounts which 
has forced us to adopt the following rule. 
If you have not already established credit with us, do so before order¬ 
ing. Otherwise send complete payment with order, or 25% and we will 
send the balance C. O. D.

ing to give garden talks illustrated by these slides. Write us if you 
are interested.
