Foreword 
BOTHERED RADE- 
Thirty-five years ago this spring the founders of Waller-Franklin Seed 
Company planted their first crop. From the inception of Waller-Franklin Seed 
Company, quality has been regarded as the first consideration in the production 
of flower seed. Our policy has been and will continue to be, not in any way to 
sacrifice the quality of any item to effect a saving in the production costs. 
The steady growth of Waller-Franklin Seed Company and the reputation 
we enjoy throughout the entire trade as a Quality House, continue to strengthen 
our determination to maintain the highest possible standard of quality that 
trained personnel of long experience can produce. 
Our entire production centers around our 75-acre trial and breeding grounds. 
This important department is under the direction of a staff of experts who 
carry on a continuous program of the improvement of standard varieties and 
the development of new and better varieties. This department also produces 
each season the required stock seed for the succeeding year’s field planting. 
Our staff of experts will continue their untiring efforts to produce for the 
critical trade the finest quality of flower seeds at prices that are in line with the 
quality offered. An institution grows as it serves well its customers. 
To the seed trade we extend a most cordial invitation to visit our trial 
grounds and our extensive ranches, and personally acquaint themselves with the 
purity of our cultures. We shall be glad to supply trials gratis to any member 
of the seed trade.
