R FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS: 
; TO OU 
.” We wish to thank you for the fine business that 
you have given us during the past year. We have 
enjoyed an ideal growing season this year, and we 
believe that our stock is the best that we have 
ever produced. We have a good quantity of most © 
of the items that we are offering, and are in posi- 
tion to take care of your requirements. 
We consider it a privilege to be living in this 
' great land of ours, of brave, free people, and, as 
agriculturalists, we are putting our shoulder to 
the wheel in a genuine effort to contribute our 
share toward promoting the general welfare of 
our community, and our nation. We become more 
firmly convinced with each passing day that mem- 
| bers of our trade can render America a splendid 
: service by promoting to the utmost among all our 
. citizens the culture of nature’s flowers, plants, and 
trees as a certain method to maintain calm and 
peace of mind. 
With all this in mind, we are increasing our ef- 
forts to produce higher quality nursery stock, be- 
cause we firmly believe that beautiful flowers and 
plants are God-given things which make the world 
a better place in which to live. Fortunately, we 
have been able to assist in the movement to make 
| “America More Beautiful and Fruitful.” For many 
years we have supplied progressive planters with 
the material needed to transform a “souse into a 
home. Each year we have endeavored to improve 
our production methods and thus improve the 
quality of the trees and shrubs offered. 
While this catalogue is not large in size and 
number of pages, you may rest assured that all 
items listed are the best that can be produced, 
that our prices are reasonable, and that our serv- 
ice is unsurpassed. We shall be happy to serve 
you at any time. 
You will find this bargain book is made espec- 
ially for farmers, home owners, fruit growers, and 
gardeners, giving them a chance to buy direct 
from nursery at wholesale prices. The reason we 
~ ean sell such fine stock at these low prices is be- 
-, cause we sell direct to you from our catalogue, 
; and you have no agent’s commission to pay. Fur- 
thermore, we do not spend thousands of dollars on 
colored pictures in our catalogue, with which to 
promote sales appeal. We pass this saving on to 
you. Also, we purchase no large advertising space, 
as we depend largely upon you—our friends and 
customers—to advertise our stock. 
Thanking you for your consideration, and with 
the hope that we may by sincere effort, merit 
continued patronage from you good folks who 
make our existence possible, we remain,
