Gentlemen: 
It will soon be spring again and time to plant. As 
an aid in compiling your planting lists we offer our list 
of stock available for spring shipment. We invite you to 
look it over. 
It has been, is, and always will be our policy to strive 
for quality. Quantity though important, is secondary. 
We always, also, strive for perfection in our packing of 
orders for we realize that quality stock at point of ship- 
ment can well be “quantity rot” at point of destination 
if improperly packed. 
Those of you whe have purchased from us in the 
past have gratifyingly indicated your satisfaction with 
your repeated orders. We invite those of you who haven’t 
to try our stock this spring. Make it a small order if you 
wish for we assure you it will receive the same prompt at- 
tention and careful handling. 
Since a large number of items are in small supply 
may we suggest that you order at your earliest convenience 
to assure acceptance. Please refer to the back of the list 
for our terms and conditions of sale. 
Wishing you a happy and a prosperous new year, we 
remain, 
Very truly yours 
JOHN VERMEULEN & SON, Inc.

INTRODUCING 
During the past several years we have introduced to 
the trade a number of new varieties of old species. We 
and many others think very highly of them and we thought 
that it might be appropriate to introduce them as a group. 
In addition to being tested for hardiness, propagation 
ease, growth, color, etc. they have also been tested for sales 
value and have been found well liked. 
We think it will be profitable for you to have a fair 
supply on hand when they become as well known to the 
general public as some of the present ‘“‘stand-bys”. Prepare 
now for these future demands.
