Jo Our Customers and Friends: 
Most of us consider gardening still the greatest of all sport and an extremely profitable pastime. 
The constant supply of fresh vegetables for home use well repays our every effort, but aside 
from this we receive the extra benefit of exhilarating recreation and relaxation only gardening 
can provide. 
It would be a dreary world without flowers too, wouldn’t it? That is why in so many gardens 
there is here and there a row or patch of flowers. These too, are an essential crop for they afford 
cheer and brightness in our daily life.
