GREETINGS FOR 1951 
Adam was a gardener, and God 
Who made him sees 
That half a proper gardener’s work 
Is done upon his knees. 
—Kipling 
This little folder represents my twentieth mile-stone 
in commercial flower growing and I wish to thank all 
who made the past season one of the most pleasant 1 
have ever experienced. The weather for most part was 
ideal and my flowers were never more beautiful. I won 
5 firsts and Grand Champion on my dahlias and glads 
at two flower shows last fall. 
As always it was such a pleasure to welcome so many 
visitors to my garden and it was especially nice to meet 
in person those from other states who have been faith- 
ful customers for so many years. I enjoy serving all you 
nice people and hope I may have that privilege for many 
more years. Thanks again and all good wishes. 
My dahlias produced so many nice roots last season 
that I am glad to be able to make a substantial reduction 
in prices of most of them—but order early as I most 
always run out of some kinds. Tell me when you want 
your bulbs and I will try to send at that time. 
All bulbs and plants are state inspected—guaranteed 
true to name, ad to reach you in good growing condi- 
tion. If not satisfied, let me know at once and I will 
make adjustment. 
All orders amounting to $1.00 or more are sent post- 
paid—if less than $1.00 please add 10c for postage. 
Stamps accepted for orders of less than $1.00.
