SPRING = 1942 + EDITION 
N presenting to you our 1942 catalog, we have endeay- 
ored to place before you items of seed, bulbs and 
plants to take the place of varieties that formerly were 
imported from Europe, but which are prohibited now. 
Petunias are one of our specialties, having introduced 
a large percentage of the finer varieties that are now on 
the market. We were one of the first to bring to the 
attention of the florist the All-Double Petunia, which is 
now accepted by the trade as the finest for pot culture. 
Every year we have searched the world for new items. 
We have made tests with the large seed growers of 
California for the reproduction of many of the fine things 
that we are offering you, as we have been successful in 
growing in this country what was formerly imported 
from Europe. 
Primroses . . . We are still able to get some of the 
finest strains from Europe as usual, likewise supplying 
you with the best greenhouse-grown American seed. 
Stocks . 
florist. Two years ago we introduced, after making many 
. . One item that is very important for the 
tests, the new variety, “Gardenia,” which is now accepted 
as the best and the most desirable of all varieties on the 
market for the florist to prow. 
In our bulb offerings in this catalog you will find many 
new varieties that are now very low priced, as we have 
been able to produce them in larger quantities to bring 
the price within reach of all of our customers. 
We take pleasure in wishing you a prosperous and 
happy New Year, and assure you of our appreciation 
for the confidence you have placed in us in supplying 
you with your seed, bulbs and plants. 
Faithfully yours,
