(t 
added a lot of packaging and mailing machinery; more than doubled our order handling capacity; and

mailed out to you this 126th Annual Catalogue several weeks earlier than last year. Everything in the catalogue 
may be ordered by mail, and we've tried hard to eliminate all listings where we're not sure of having stock. We'll let the 
catalogue speak for itself, and for Breck’s. Here’s how you can do your part: Order earlier than you ever have before; combine _ 
manpower, cartons, transportation, etc. and give us a chance to take care - 
your purchases into fewer, larger orders. This way you help us conserve 
of the late rush from beginners in gardening who are not so familiar with the established custom of ordering seeds and supplies well in advance.
