TO NEW FRIENDS AND OLD 
CUSTOMERS 
We are selling out a large share of the nursery. 
at Topnotch Gardens, to clear land for other pur- — 
poses. To do this quickly, inventory reduction 
prices have been set. You will find it greatly to 
your advantage to buy during this clearance sale. 
As we are growing hundreds of perennial vari- 
eties, including tall bearded, dwarf, Siberian and 
spuria iris, peonies, hemerocallis, Oriental poppies, 
single and double painted daisies, etc., only a brief © 
listing is made here. We suggest that distant cus- 
tomers send us a want list of their requirements 
for special quotation. Nearby customers, phone or 
drive out. ; 
We greatly appreciate the courtesy of the Calu- 
met Region folks who came out this spring, fur- 
nished their own cartons and labor. We hope those 
who can will do that any time, particularly in the 
rush spring season. 
Business is a co-operative enterprise between 
capital investors, managers, workers and assisting 
industries, and the people who buy the product. 
Our deep thanks to our mail order friends whom we 
have never had the pleasure of meeting, but whose 
faith in us and investment of their dollars created 
and sustained this business through the past five 
years. Sincerely, 
Deanette M. Small.
