Mr. Landowner: 
Don't miss the spring planting season! 
Our Multiflora is great stuff — the best there is. But, by 
golly, it can't be planted in the summer. Besides our 
packing shed will be as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard 
long before spring is out. Calls for our stock are always 
heaviest in the spring but two-thirds of our. crop was sold 
Fast..fala:. 
We love to have our stock compared with any other approaching 
our plants in size, uniformity, and growth vigor. As growers 
who ship direct, we have no agent's commission to pay. 
Despite continued increase in costs our prices remain the 
Same as last fall. You benefit from the fact that we ship 
more Multiflora to more people over more of the country than 
any other grower. This means greater efficiency and lower 
costs to you for quality stock. 
Note our guarantee: Could any provision be more liberal? 
We could not venture this kind of assurance if we were not 
confident our plants will thrive for you. 
You needn't send a check with your order unless you wish 
to do so. We'll be glad to ship on open account payable 10 
days after receipt of plants if you have established credit 
with us or if you will supply credit references. 
Again let me urge you to reserve your Multiflora requirements 
today. This will accomplish two things: You will be assured 
of having your plants on hand at the earliest planting date 
(early spring planting is important) and your order is 
certain to be filled. Last spring we were deeply disturbed when 
we had to return many, many late orders. 
Sincerely yours, 
MISSOURI

P. S. Ever figure costs of our Multiflora fencing against 
wire fencing? Rod for rod, our No. 1 plants are half the price 
of a barbed wire fence and one-third that of woven wire fencing. 
And no replacement costs necessary. You can't afford less 
than the best. |
