Dear Inquirer,— sesmarncie Resa 

We regret the delay in replying to your query, but the fact is that conifer seed crops were so scanty 
here in the Pacific Northwest that we could not tell until right now what we would have to sell or how much. 
Actually, our current offerings are pitifully small. 
In the following list we indicate the maximum quantity we can supply to any one customer, and the 
price. As before, in small assortments we require a minimum of $3.00 order. We pay postage or express 
anywhere in the U.S.A.

Because our inquiries come from all parts of the United States we will undertake to select seed from 
sources nearest in climate to that of the locality where the seed is to be planted. We usually stock seed 
from sources ranging from 30 to 200 days of frost-free period. However, we cannot guarantee that plants 
will not suffer from frost or other climatic hazards. Exotics are always “chancey.” 
In reply to questions asked by many of our inquirers would say that we do not grow nursery stock. 
Our business is collecting and marketing tree seeds. 
Yours very truly, 
NMibrat—
