SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
We are located in the heart of the New York Cut Flower Market. We have nine men on the road travel- 
ing extensively in nearly all sections of the country. Our position, for over 25 years, has been one of daily 
contact-with the grower and his needs. 
This catalog, we believe, is full evidence in itself of our long established plan to render a complete service 
to the grower in a full line of Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Cuttings, Insecticides, Fertilizers, etc. At all times we 
invite inquiries as to prices and all other information.
