Dear Brother Florist 
We have the pleasure in mailing you our 
latest Bulb-Plant and Seed List for this coming 
Spring. 
Due to many inquiries we have decided to 
list also our SEEDS we have in Surplus this 
season. 
All Seeds are 1952 crop, fresh Seeds only 
and same strains as we use in our own N ursery, 
so you can always be assured of fine germination. 
Our Bulbs are always the very best quality. 
March, 1953 
Our Spring Plants we offer at this time are 
surplus stock left over in the field from Fall, 
1952, and should make wonderful plants. 
If you want parcel post shipments, be sure 
to add enough postage when you remit. If 
overpaid we refund checks same day. 
Our terms are always cash or C. O. D. ex- 
cept to reliable and established firms. 
No charges are made for boxes and packing.
