A FEW WORDS OF EXPLANATION 
AST year, there was the greatest demand for 
| Nursery Stock and Seeds ever known. This 
spring, 1t may be as great, perhaps even greater. 
We have made careful plans to handle this business. 
We have put in this catalog the best and most popular 
varieties, leaving out those for which there is only a 
little demand. We have also made fewer sizes of trees 
“and roses. For example, our Super-Size fruit trees are 
put with the 5 to 7-foot size, making it just that much 
better value. The Super-Size roses are put with the 
Selected 2-Year No. 1 size. By having fewer varieties 
and sizes, we can fill orders more quickly and efficiently. 
Much Nursery Stock is Scarce This Spring 
Nursery Stock is produced almost entirely by hand 
work, This has been scarce now for two years. That is 
why many items are so scarce this season. Last year 
we had to return many orders because we could not 
fill them. Therefore, to save disappointment and a 
year’s growth, we urge you to order early. On page 3, 
you will find a list of Premiums you get for ordering 
early. Be sure and write on your order the Premiums 
you wish, so all can be sent in one shipment. 
Please Preserve Your Catalog 
Paper is scarce. This spring we are mailing about 
20% less catalogs than last year. When you are 
through with yours, perhaps your neighbor would like 
to see it. Thank you. 
Sales Tax 
Customers living in Iowa will add 2% to the 
amount of their order, which the Iowa Sales Tax 
Law requires us to collect. If Congress passes a Na- 
tional Sales Tax, then all customers will add the 
amount of this tax to their orders. 
Easy to Order 
In the comfort and privacy of your own home, you 
can look through this catalog and select what you want. 
Write your order for Nursery Stock and Bulbs on 
the order blank on the opposite side of this page. 
Write your Seed order on the order blank between 
pages 78 and 79. Write your full name and complete 
address on both orders, also write down the catalog 
number of each item you want. You can mail both 
orders in the same envelope. If you run out of order 
blanks, then you can use any sheet of paper, but be 
sure and put your seed order on a separate sheet of 
paper. Nursery Stock and Seeds are not shipped to- 
gether. We ship the seeds to you at once. The Nursery 
Stock is shipped at the proper planting time. In mak- 
ing out your orders, please write very plainly, and give 
your full name and complete address, street or rural 
route. Also mention your nearest express office, espe- 
cially if it is different from your post office. You can 
send us money order, draft or check. If you send cur- 
rency or cash, wrap it carefully and register your letter. 
A money order is the best way to send payment.
