Dear MEMBER: 
Your All America Garden Club is happy to announce that it has engaged the services of Dr. Hal L. Smith, well 
known horticulturist, and plant pathologist. Dr. Smith will act in an advisory capacity, inspect all stock before it 
is shipped to you, and write frequent articles on plant culture for your bulletins. Incidentally, since the State of 
Washington exercises strict plant inspection and quarantine, Dr. Smith’s inspection will give All America Garden 
Club members a double check on every item purchased through their Club. 
Your Club will also offer you some very unusual flower seed. These seeds are of fascinating new floral intro- 
ductions. They are so new that there will not be enough of them produced to be offered to the public through 
ordinary seed house channels for at least three more years. At this stage the grower does not want to divide his 
propagation stock seed. We have to pay a premium to secure these rare items. But knowing your interest in the 
new, the novel and the improved varieties of flowers, and of your desire to be the first in your community to grow 
these new introductions, we secured this seed for you. Naturally, any of these offerings will be limited. We will 
only have a very little of anything in this line that we can offer you. 
One more announcement; your propagation and cultural information will come to you from now on on a 
standardized note book size sheet with standardized ring holes, so that you can keep this valuable material in an 
All America Garden Club notebook. 
As you probably recall, the September bulletin announced a change of management in your Club. The selection 
of the choice autumn bulbs and garden items offered you this fall was naturally made some time ago. But no 
provision was made for the printing. It was necessary to make expediency instead of quality our printing standard 
for the moment. We were not proud of our September brochure. Spring offers will again come to you with color. 
We are enclosing for your consideration a corrected copy of the fall bulb order sheet. 
Yours very sincerely, 
ALL AMERICA GARDEN CLUB 
By EARL F. HUBBARD, President.

Recommends... 
The Handbook of Rhododendrons 
BECAUSE, this comprehensive work is a very special publication by the University of Washington Arboretum 
Foundation. 

BECAUSE, The Arboretum, famous for its extensive collection of rhododendrons and azaleas, drew such a growing 
volume of requests from gardeners for help at every stage of the selection, culture and propagation of these 
extraordinarily beautiful ornamental plants, that the Arboretum Foundation invited the outstanding rhododendron 
and azalea experts of America and Great Britain to tell about their methods and to share their experiences in a 
compact compilation of articles and discussions on the subject. The list of contributors is impressive and contains 
most of the top names in this field. 
BECAUSE, whether you live EAST or WEST, NORTH or SOUTH, whether yours is an acid or an alkali area, or 
whether your winter climate is sub-zero or temperate, if you already have rhododendrons and azaleas in your 
plantings, or if you wish to include them in your garden, you will find complete guidance and practical growing help 
in the HANDBOOK OF RHODODENDRONS. Order your copy today. $5.00.
