1944 Y 
We wish to express our best thanks to our clients, a great number of whom 
have used our seeds, bulbs, etc., for many successive seasons during our thirty-nine 
years in business, and hope that we may again be privileged to serve you. 
After thirty-nine years in business, we feel that we are capable, with our 
highly trained staff, of selecting the best varieties and stocks of seeds, bulbs and 
plants procurable, and advising 
our customers which to use in their respective 
localities. This service is available at all times. 
Every year we have added to the ever-popular staples such new varieties of 
flowers and vegetables which have proven meritorious. Again this year you will find 
listed the best new varieties of both seeds and plants which were produced last year.
