TO GARDEN LOVERS 
Our 1941 Book for Garden Lovers, which presented a new face and a new form to our 
clientele, was greeted with great enthusiasm. It is not easy for a firm to change the form 
of a catalog that has been standardized for over one quarter of a century. The demand for 
this book last year was so great that we were forced to disappoint numerous garden lovers 
who requested a copy, because their requests were too late. 
We are printing considerably more of the 1942 edition and we are retaining our new 
format, for we feel that we would like to repeat our successful performance of last year. 
There will be many old favorites missing from this catalog due to the fact that our 
contacts with world-wide sources have, for obvious reasons, been sharply curtailed. Such 
items as Lilium Speciosum Album and Rubrum from Japan are among the missing as well as 
a great number of perennial and herb seeds which were formerly imported from the Bal- 
kans. In addition to this our main seed growing sections on the Pacific Coast were inundated 
during the seed producing season with the result that a great many of our popular items 
are in very short supply. Nevertheless, as usual, we have been most fortunate in securing a 
wide variety of lovely garden subjects, and you will note that in spite of the foregoing 
MAX SCHLING hardships our new prices compare very favorably with those of former years. 
President 
Our established clientele may purchase from us with the usual confidence in obtaining

CONDITIONS OF SALE 
While we exercise the greatest care 
to send out only seeds of the very high- 
est quality and germination, there are 
too many elements of Nature, or neg- 
lect on the part of the planter, not 
within our control, which may influ- 
ence the ultimate results. It is for that 
reason that we can give no warranty, 
express or implied, as to the descrip- 
tion, quality, productiveness or any 
other matter of any seeds, plants, or 
bulbs we sell; and we will not be in any 
way responsible for the crop. If the 
purchaser does not accept the goods 
on these terms, they are to be returned 
at once.

seeds, also flowering bulbs, are

den requisites of all descriptions,

paragus roots, seed potatoes, peat 
moss, salt hay and other ground 
covers. We reserve the right to

Due to various soil and climatic 
conditions we, under no circum- 
stances, will guarantee the results 
of any live or dormant plants.
