TO THE TRADE 
“Optimism in the present and confidence in the future.” That 
seems to us a good motto to go by. Business this past year has 
been better than many of us perhaps looked for at the beginning 
—1950 will be as good or better. Cooperation locally and nation- 
ally will help as it always has. 
We trust this catalog will be helpful and hope we may continue 
in receipt of your good will. If there are some items in which 
you are interested not listed here we will be glad to quote you 
specially. | 
The prices will be maintained as far as possible but changes up 
_or down may be made by manufacturers and growers which are 
unavoidable. 
While Fall bulb items are not listed herein—we solicit your 
inquiries and orders which can be placed subject to your approval 
of price to be advised when fixed. Early ordering is in your 
favor from every angle—price, first, consideration in case of 
shortage, etc. |
