MAY WE ASK A FAVOR? Please keep this catalog close at hand through the season. 
That’s hard to do — we know, for we have the same problem. In the file, it’s often buried, on the desk 
top they seem to wander away. Will you do this for us? Punch it through and keep it on an active spin- 
dle, or let it lie in your current letter tray. We are always glad to send another copy, of course, but 
that always means a lapse of time, time that could be used to order your plants and have them on their 
way to you. This request is a part of our very special desire to render a prompt, efficient service to you 
straight through this new Spring season. 

Dear Friends:— 
There is a keynote to this catalog, a feature bright in every line and counting more 
than everything else in it. What is this happy thought? It’s QUALITY! The perennial 
plants that we have in the fields for you are at the top of every qualification that defines 
a good, valuable, hardy plant. 
In the shipments that you receive, we won't vary a bit from the policy that you have 
come to think of when you procure from the Joseph F. Martin Co. Every plant will be at 
full maturity and you will see the careful culture that produced it for you. No small items, 
all will display in the first season that you have them. 
We have a guarantee and really back it. You alone are the final judge, the one to say 
that you have received value for the value that you have committed here. 
For all of the good things that we have known from you, THANKS. Thanks more 
deeply than the word can say, more sincerely than this print can portray. We are looking 
for every one of you in our mail this Spring — will it be soon? 
Sincerely, 
THE JOSEPH, FE MARTIN CO; Ince
