Financial authorities generally agree that the present active business will continue for at least several years to 
come. This is based not only on that vast amount of Government defense activity, but on continued shortage of 
many civilian needs and wants. This should clearly point to a continued active flower business. While some 
luxury items report a slight recession, this will not so easily happen to our business, that is more a necessity than 
a luxury. For instance, “a home is not complete” until it is planted. And, certain occasions are very incomplete 
without real flowers. And that always will be so if we do our part in making known the fact that cut flowers 
and plants contribute humidity and cheer to any living room, making them bodily and spiritual needs. 
The policy of our business is based on promptly, courteously and fully replying to all communications. Also to 
get orders back in the mail the day they are received by us, as nearly as it is possible to do so. These are musts 
in the conduct of our business. Geo. J. Ball, Inc. takes pride in these policies, plus carrying the highest grade 
of seeds, plants and bulbs possible. My point is this: If it should happen that we unduly fail you in any of these 
policies, | want you to write me personally about it. You will do me a real favor in doing so. Also you'll contribute 
to the improvement of our service—a mutual benefit.

MONEY SAVING DISCOUNT! 
On seed orders only (except Cyclamen and Lawn Grass) 
when payment is enclosed or on C.O.D.’s, you may subtract 
5% on all orders from $5.00 to $25.00. On $25.00 and 
over, deduct 8%. 
For example: A $30.00 seed order will actually cost you 
only $27.60—a worthwhile saving. And for your files, an 
itemized packing slip showing the total amount you’ve spent 
will be enclosed with your seed. This cash discount does 
not apply to Cuttings, Plants, Bulbs or Plant Bands unless 
quoted differently. 
Payment should accompany all orders unless credit has been 
established. C.O.D. shipments 50% in advance. 

PLEASE NOTE! Because a very large part of our entire year’s seed business is experienced during January and early February, 
we sometimes find it impossible to get orders out as promptly as we would like at this season. Please help us to help you by 
sending us your order several days before you actually need your seed. After mid-February every order will again leave us 
the same day we receive it.
