La Crosse, Wisconsin 
January 2, 1947 
It is with considerable pleasure that 
_ we send you our 1947 spring catalog. This rep- 
_ resents our 79th consecutive issue—79 years 
of faithful° service. We cannot help feeling 
a bit proud of this record in serving three 
generations of gardeners and farmers. 
Quite often these days we hear consider- 
able talk about ‘‘security.’’ We hear it on 
the radio, read about it in the newspapers. It 
~ is something all of us desire and strive for. 
Your garden offers security along with pleas- 
' ure and the results cannot be measured in 
dollars and cents alone. For some it is a live- 
lihood, for others it is beauty and rec- 
_ reation, but for all there is a degree of 
Security that can only be obtained through 
growing of vegetables and flowers from one’s 
own efforts. It has been truly said that gar- 
dening is an occupation for which no man is 
too high nor too low. 
This year again we offer you the finest in 
seeds, plants and shrubbery. Our trials are 
carefully conducted at Cliffwood farm and _. a ee ee

Those of you who are interested in house 
plants, will find a list of choice and novel 
items that will delight you and provide color 
and beauty for your home throughout the year. 
For those who are building new homes, or 
_ those who are planning to replace shrubbery, 
we offer a fine, complete line of decorative 
shrubbery and perennial plants that will 
__ beautify your grounds and add many dollars 
_ of value to your property. 



¥ Again we-thank you for your patronage and 
' ‘loyalty, and it is our sincere hope that we 
3 may continue to serve you in 1947 and for many, 
"many years to come. 
With best wishes to you for another-suc- 
cessful garden.
