“FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS” a 
Here spread before you is an air view of our equipment to serve you. No similar business in 
“your land and mine” is better equipped than the above—few as well. From that new 8,000 
sq. ft. modern warehouse, right foreground, to automatic heating, you'll find valuable efficiency 
equipment thruout. This directly helps us in caring for your business with us. One of our pri- 
mary interests here is improvement of our seed specialties. Our long experience in this work _ 
is reflected in the great number of bettered varieties we've developed. This, as well as experi- 
mental work generally, is being actively enlarged upon. Our “Flower Seeds for Florists” busi- 
ness could not enjoy the advantages it does without that 214 acres of greenhouses, and our long 
experience behind it. Our extensive outdoor annual trial ground gives us that vital information 
about varieties that, in your interest, we must have. Also that perfect method of shipping 
small plants thru our “Ball-Pak’’ is another example of better equipment. We use it exclu- — 
sively in all our small plant shipments from West Chicago. And—those suggestions thru our 
little magazine, “GROWER TALKS” ? 
The foundation of this business was laid 60 years back by that visionary $8.00 a ee 
boy. ‘Member him? Such are the opportunities in our free land where private enterprise and 
initiative are the ruling spirit.
