To the Finest People in the World a 
Our Customers 
HE gardener is primarily a man full of hope. Another gardening season gives him an oppor- 
tunity to work out the plans that have been simmering in his mind ever since the last year. 
And always the garden of his dreams is going to be something unique and beautiful and 
suited to his needs. 
As we send you this latest edition of the Vestal catalog, we hope it will help you to realize 
the garden of your dreams. It contains a lot of very good plant material and you will not go wrong 
by ordering anything here that will fit in with your plans. Right here let us caution you not to 
order a miscellaneous collection of plants without knowing where you are going to put them. Have 
a place in mind that will fit their likes as to soil and exposure, and then set out the plants with an 
eye to their season of bloom, their colors, and their ultimate size. No plant can do its best without 
space enough to grow. 
The name Vestal is associated most of all with Roses, because ever since the founding of the 
business over seventy-five years ago we have made them a specialty. The varieties offered here 
are particularly happy in the Southwest. Plant them with every assurance that they will grow and 
bloom and last from year to year in your garden. 
The Rose is indeed the queen of flowers, and it brings such supreme pleasure to both grower 
and beholder that the first cost of the bush ts triflmg by comparison. That is all the more reason 
to buy good plants in the first place, because the fertilizing and watering and cultivating and 
spraying that you provide are just the same no matter what the quality of the bush. Vestal Roses 
are the very best you can buy; that has been their reputation for many years, and this season IS 
no exception. Try some and see for yourself, 
The Chrysanthemum is to the autumn garden what the Rose is to the earlier one. We have a 
very fine list of all the different types, and we strongly urge you to be generous in using them to 
prolong the season of color mn your garden. 
To those of our customers within a reasonable distance of Little Rock we extend an invitation 
to come and visit us. You will be interested in seeing many of the things we have to offer. Our 
modern greenhouses covering many thousands of square feet are a far cry from the primitive 
conditions under which the founder of our firm worked when he came to Little Rock in 1879. A 
town with a population of 5000 could be serviced with the power plant necessary to heat these 
greenhouses. 
Thousands of gardeners depend on Vestal’s to supply them with seeds, plants and bulbs by mail. 
To them too we wish to emphasize our eagerness to be of service. And to you all we say: Many 
thanks for your past patronage. We shall do our very best to merit it in the future as well. 
For more than 75 years we have devoted our greatest efforts to growing Roses. 
During this time we have learned something about good Rose plants and what 
is required to grow good Roses. We believe our plants are equal to any grown and 
lots better than some. Many satisfied customers prove this statement. Good 
plants, even at a slightly higher first cost, are less expensive than cheaper plants 
which prove unsatisfactory. Order at once for early planting.
