Did You 
Know... 
That there is a happy combination of 
circumstances that helps to make the fine 
quality perennial plant that you are accus- 
tomed to receiving from the Joseph F. Martin 
Company. 
The elements of nature saw fit to jumble 
themselves some time in the past, and left a 
peculiar but very advantageous layout of soils 
that were to become the Martin Nursery prop- 
erties. Here, in the fields that flourish with 
healthy, vigorous perennial plants, we have 
not one, not a few, but EIGHT sharply differ- 
ent soil types. 
Those who know Martin plants readily realize 
what this means to the buyer of perennial 
material. You know that the plants which you 
get from these fields are developed from the 
first small stage of propagation in the soil 
that suits them exactly. The careful testing 
that is constantly in process here, plus the 
co-operation of nationally known soil authori- 
ties, never fails to find just the right type of 
soil for the superior development of the peren- 
nials that are destined for you. You know, 
too, that perennials started like this are in- 
stilled with a tremendous vigor and terrific 
vitality that will make them transplant and 
grow successfully in almost any habitat you 
give them and with a minimum of care and 
attention. 
SO, WHY ACCEPT LESS AND PAY MORE 
WHEN THE BEST IS WAITING FOR YOU AT 
REASONABLE PRICES? 
P. S. This Fall is the time to plant and this 
catalog is full of generous buying opportuni- 
ties that mean extra dollars of profit next sea- 
son. Serving you this fall is a privilege we 
anxiously anticipate. May we hear from you 
soon?
