“A Message From The Boss” 
Dear Flower Lover: 
Just a word about our new location. It is larger, more conveniently 
located and all set up to give you extra special service. We are using our own 
name FRENTZEN FLORAL GARDENS. After 23 years in the Florist business, 
We have come to the conclusion that folks like to know who they are dealing 
with, there is no name like your own. 
_Here at Pitman we have far more glass (greenhouses) to grow more 
varieties and room for research to improve quality and originate new strains. 
Our shipping facilities are greatly improved by advantageous transportation 
conveniences. This move has been made in the interest of our customers, to 
enable us to do an even better job of supplying high quality plants, expert pack- 
ing, at lowest possible cost. 
This Price List is the most complete we have ever offered. Listed are over 
110 varieties of African Violets, the best of the older ones and the most outstand- 
ing of the new varieties. . All plants have beon Selenate treated, grown in certi- 
fied houses and represent the highest quality obtainable. 
We wish to take this opportunity to thank you one and all for your patron- 
/age, and trust we may continue to be of service to you in the near future. 
' Yours for quality plants, 
: Alex, H. Frentzen
