opportunity 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.

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. 
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 appreciated. 
Our catalog is sent from season to sea- 
son to all who purchase from us, with- 
out their asking for it. 
WAYS IN WHICH WE 
ASK YOUR HELP 
1.—Be sure to sign your name to your order. 
We are now holding orders containing 
money sent last spring, because there was 
no signature on the order blank. 
2.—Write your name and address plainly on 
the order, and use order sheet if possible. 
3.—Do not request C.O.D. shipments. They 
require extra help which we do not have 
at this time. 
4.—Send payment with order unless you have 
already established credit with us or wish 
to do so. In the latter case send bank 
reference, 
5.—Do not include sales tax with your order, 
as we have at present no such tax in 
Minnesota. 
6.—Read our catalog for planting instructions.
