To Our Customers: 
This ts the first catalogue we have issued since before World War II. Because of 
the increased cost of producing it, we are asking that requests for a copy be accompa- 
nied by 25c in coin or stamps to help cover the cost of handling. So if you have oc- 
casion to want a second copy or if your neighbor wishes to have one, please bear this 
in mind when you ask for a copy. If the ensuing order amounts to $2.00 or more, you 
may add to your order 25c worth of seeds or plants to equal the amount you sent us 
for the catalogue. 
We thank you for your interest in our plants.
