TO THE TRADE 
January, 1953 
Dear friends, 
Each succeeding year finds us in a better position to fill 
your lining out requirements. Of course we can not grow 
everything and won’t ever attempt to but we can grow 
the best. We like to think of our stock as the aristocrats 
of the ornamentals and you will find many items that are 
not listed in most catalogs. You can help our selections 
by telling us about your favorities. Your comments and 
criticism are always welcome. 
Our importation from Holland of hybrids of Azalea 
Mollis, Azalea Ghent (Pontica) and Rhododendron proved 
So successful last year that we have again imported a fine 
selection and have even been able to reduce prices. You 
will find these items listed on pages 6 and 12. We're 
sure you will find them a profitable purchase. 
Though finished stock is not our aim we occasionally have 
small sizes for sale. On pages 16 & 17 we have listed what 
we have to offer for call only: 
Our aim is to serve and your inquiries are always. wel- 
come. 
Yours sincerely, 
John Vermeulen, 
Peter Vermeulen
