GREETINGS TO OUR MANY FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS: 
Since we purchased SMITH GARDENS, June 1952, we are amazed 
at the many thousands of customers who depend on us for nursery and 
garden plants. We are proud to have you as customers and want to take 
care of your needs to the best of our ability. 
Geographically, we are the largest nursery in Northern Idaho and 
our stock is hardy and ideally acclimated to conditions that exist across 
the Northern United States. Soil and moisture conditions are such that 
with our watering system we give the plants the proper amount of water 
for proper growing. 
We have decided that one of your biggest problems in ordering is 
that of postage. To relieve you of this problem, since we realize it is hard 
to determine the correct amount to include, we are adopting a new policy 
of prepaying all stock in this catalogue (unless otherwise marked) provid- 
ing your order totals three dollars ($3.00) or more. On all orders for less 
than $3.00 please include fifty cents (SOc) for packing and handling. 
We are not issuing an expensive color catalogue since we feel what 
you want is not pictures, but good stock, reasonably priced and without 
costs inflated. 
Look over our catalogue carefully; you will find many money saving 
specials listed. We cannot accept orders from old catalogues or for stock 
not listed in our Spring 1953 book. 
We do not issue a separate wholesale catalogue but from time to 
time we do have surplus stock of many items on which we can quote 
prices to trade only. If you are a dealer, please write for wholesale prices 
and quote your needs. 
LOCAL CUSTOMERS: We plan to be open for trade on Sundays 
during the Spring planting season. However, we cannot dig evergreens 
on Sunday but do try to have sufficient stock dug to take care of your 
needs. Chrysanthemum orders for Sunday delivery must be submitted 
several days in advance.
