Dear Sir: 
Enclosed you will find the poinsettia stock-plant price list for April delivery. I am prepared to take 
care of all orders in full that are placed now, and as in other years, will guarantee good delivery and 
production of the plants and that they are free of all mealybug and scale. 
With the increasing cost of labor and materials all of the leading growers have found that they 
cannot afford to carry stock plants over from one season to the next, and practically all are now ona 
standing-order basis. This puts them in the preferred position, where they do not have to pay the ten 
per cent packing charge which is made on all orders placed after Jonuary 1, and assures them that 
they will receive the size and variety ordered. I shall be very pleased to put your order on a standing- 
order basis, subject to any change you may wish to make up to MARCH 1. 
Very truly yours, 
lal Ch? 
PAUL ECKE. ‘ rae
