2 KAYLOR NURSERIES, LAKEWOOD, WASH. 
‘‘Our Garden Is a Neighborhood 
Show”’ 
Writes one of our good customer- 
friends, who continues: 
“T have saved every catalog you have 
sent me since I first wrote you some 
years ago. I like to refer to them for 
the information they contain. Am glad 
to say that every plant and bulb you 
have sent me has. been as represented 
and how I wish I could visit your nur- 
sery. Distance makes this out of the 
question.” 
Well, Mrs. J. K., all we can say is 
thanks for the kind words. Wish you 
had an Aladdin’s Lamp, or Magic Car- 
pet; also we would like to have one or 
the other, so we could drop in on the 
many other friends we have made 
through the years. They make up our 
most valuable asset and may we always 
remember: “Do unto others as you 
would them do unto you.” 
Boom or Bust 
Where is this inflation craze going to 
end? Simple arithmetic says two and 
two make four. The world has been 
making six out of it for some years. 
History shows previous booms have re- 
sulted in two and two making two when 
the bust came. Can we get back to two 
and two making four without a bust? 
If we do, everybody must reduce prices 
and produce more goods for less money. 
A big business has never been our 
ambition. Rather we prefer a small bus- 
iness based on the good will and con- 
tinued patronage of customer-friends. 
Last fall Uncle Sam permitted bulb 
growers in Holland to dump millions of 
cheaply grown Tulip and other bulbs 
on the American market. Despite the 
fact that Puget Sound bulbs are the 
best in the world we had to sell most of 
our crop at a loss. Remember the Puget 
Sound area has the highest farm labor 
wage scale of any district in the world. 
Frankly we are getting too far along in 
years to pay this high wage scale and 
take a chance of going bust—did it once 
and know how it feels. 
Study this catalog and you will soon 
see that we are “hedging” by reducing 
prices so as to reduce acreage of those 
crops that require so much close hand 
cultivating. Quality is high but quanti- 
ty must be reduced.

That your garden may be the show 
we may be of service to you, is the 
wish of

For Fall Planting 
We hope to have thousands of fine 
Hyacinth bulbs for your fall gardens. 
Also we will have good supplies of 
Daffodils, Bulbous Iris, Tulips—did not 
sell all of them last fall—and other 
spring bloomers. Holland growers spent 
thousands of dollars advertising their 
cheaply grown bulbs in American flow- 
er magazines, but they cannot produce 
as fine bulbs as do the Puget Sound 
growers. Keep your dollar at home in 
the United States and you will have a 
- chance of seeing it again. Send for list 
of fall stock. 
Next Year . 
Looks like there is no place for an- 
other white, but we have a grand de- 
scendant of Mt. Index; also a very large 
and tall orange-pink, a very deep blue 
and possibly another one, on tap for 
next year. 
Also we now have small stocks of the 
following under test: Birch Red, Capsi- 
cum, Crimson Tide, First Lady—a 
dandy, Firebrand, Golden Arrow, Ga- 
votte, King Alfred, Martha Dean, Mar- 
tha Wood, Miss Wisconsin, Mt. Gem, 
Phantom Beauty, Revlon, Tralee, Van 
Gold, and others. Write us about them 
or come and see them next summer.
