OUR CATALOG 
Each year we go over our mailing list and 
take out the names of those who have failed 
to order for several years. We do this to save 
expense. However, if you have purchased 
from us in the past and fail to receive our 
book and wish a copy, do not hesitate to write 
us for one. 
If you keep our catalog on file, you can 
always order from it and we shall be glad 
to make any adjustments if prices change. 
Many people who are moving about send 
for our catalog and are not really interested 
in making a purchase. If we do not receive 
an order after sending out our catalog, we 
drop that name from our files and no further 
catalogs are sent. Even a dollar order is ap- 
preciated. Our catalog is sent from season to 
season to all those who purchase from us 
without their asking for it.

tht Brand Peony Gorms 
We are located about 60 miles south of the Twin Cities. We take this oppor- 
tunity to invite our friends to visit us at any time. 
During the course of the flowering season, we have a succession of blooming 
periods. From about May 15th to June 25th, we have something in bloom that 
is well worth seeing. Following in rapid succession and in some cases over- 
lapping, come brilliant showings of Phlox Subulata, Tulips, Lilacs, Flowering 
Crabs, Iris and Peonies. Then during the later summer months and early fall, 
our fields of Phlox, Chrysanthemums, and Perennial Asters are gorgeous. 
For many years during the Peony season, we have made a special effort to 
decorate our large packing rooms and stage a Peony show that was well worth 
coming many miles to see. We know that thousands of our Peony friends have 
looked forward each year for the time to come to make this trip. 
Due to the tire situation and gas rationing, we know we shall not see many 
of our visitors this year. We have decided to discontinue decorating elaborately 
until conditions change. However, our fields will continue to put forth their 
usual array of color and we shall have many flowers on display during the flower 
season. 
If you pass through our city, we hope you will visit us.
