WHEN TO ORDER 
Order early. We fill orders in the rotation 
in which they arrive and promptly. Early 
orders always find a complete stock. 
Early orders help us spread out the spring 
rush, too. We do a better job, you get 
every item you order. 
HOW TO ORDER 
Please use the order-blank. It is easy for 
you to use and it helps us to do everything 
exactly right when we fill the order. Five 
easy steps: 
1. Remove order-blank from the cata- 
2. Fill in your complete name and 
address. 
3. List the seeds and other items you 
need. Left-hand column is for 
quantity you order; next column 
for variety number; next space for 
name of what you order; last 
column for price, and when order 
is completed, space at the bottom 
or on the back for you to total the 
figures. 
4. Enclose your order and pay for it 
in the return envelope you re- 
ceived with the catalog. 
5. The 25c rebate coupon is for use 
on the seed part of your order 
only. It does not apply on pur- 
chases of other garden supplies, 
which prices are net. 
WHEN DO WE DELIVER? 
All orders will be delivered promptly. If 
your order includes both ‘‘Postpaid"’ and 
“Not Postpaid” items, the Postpaid items 
may be shioped by mail and the ‘Not 
Postpaid’’ items separately, but both 
promptly. 
POSTPAID PRICES 
Catalog prices include delivery on all 
seeds and many of the smaller garden 
supplies. 
HOW TO PAY 
Pay by Postal Note, Money Order or 
Check. In case you must pay by cash or 
stamps, be sure to register the envelope 
for safety. 
C.0.D. ORDERS 
The postal fee for collection on C. O. D. 
orders adds to the cost of your garden. 
We ask that you do not request us to 
ship C. O. D. It means standing in line 
at the Post Office for too long when we 
are so short of help. It is cheaper for 
you to send payment with your order,

operate one of the most complete retail 
seed stores in the United States. A wide 
range of fertilizers, insecticides and garden 
accessories are on display for those who 
come to our building to do their garden

To Our Customer Friends— 
We present this, our 1951 Annual Spring Catalog to you with unusual 
pleasure and satisfaction. As you have already noted on the front cover, this is 
our 75th Anniversary, our Diamond Jubilee year in the seed business. 
Just 75 years ago, Mr. Templin, my father, issued his first seed catalog, a 
tiny seed offer to his nursery. customers and neighbors. His interest in horticulture 
came through his working in the nursery which his father, my grandfather, started 
nearly one hundred years ago. So from this early beginning came the present 
Templin-Bradley Seed Company. 
Through these years, our policy has been to supply our customers with 
the best seeds available from the most technical hybridizers and growers of each 
type of flower and vegetable. This policy gives us our fine reputation as seedsmen 
and gives you the best possible for your garden. 
You will be happy to know that we are again offering you Tuberous 
Rooted Begonia Bulbs. The beautiful color on our front cover cannot describe the 
glorious beauty of the flowers you can grow from these bulbs. Not for just one year, 
but for many years, as the bulbs can be kept indefinitely. Just dig the bulbs before 
freezing weather, wash off the soil and keep the bulbs in a cool place, like your fruit 
cellar until early spring. Then plant the bulbs in sand or loose soil, not too early, 
just in time to have them well rooted and showing small leaves when you are ready 
to plant them in your garden. 
We are offering for the second year, the Midland Pelleted Seeds. Try 
some of them and see how much work you save by putting the seed just where you 
wish to have it grow. No transplanting, no thinning, no fertilizer, and earlier plant- 
ing, faster growth and better results. 
Thanks for your past orders and may we have your 1951 order early, before 
the spring rush? 
May 1951 be a Happier Year For All, 
PTB:B. President.
