“The plants are fine, and as far as the hoe is con-

WHY WORRY ABOUT PRESENTS! 
Let us worry for you. Gifts for Christmas, Father’s Day, Mother’s 
Day, Easter, and Birthdays often become a real problem. 
A common slogan is: “Say it With Flowers.” But fresh flowers last 
but a short time and are then discarded. Our slogan is: “Give Plants 
That Will Produce Flowers.” Then your present will be enjoyed year 
after year. 
You can do this by sending your order to us for Peony roots, a 
Lilac bush, or an ornamental Crab Tree, or other catalog items. We will 
send an appropriate card and send the stock at the right planting time. 
Flower lovers would also enjoy using one of our fine garden hoes, 
and one Christmas this seemed to be a favorite item.
