To my cactus friends — advertising really costs 
money. If you like my plants, service and prices, and 
have friends that might like them also, won’ you send 
me their names? I really need your orders to help 
keep my prices low. I'll send to you some free plants 
for any new customer and really appreciate it. Do 
you know of some needy, shut-in ‘person that would 
like a gift plant from Cactus Jack? Please send their 
name. 
1953 - To My Mail Order Friends: 
Owing to the 1952 appreciation from folks all over America 
for my plants as listed in this folder, I have decided to use it 
again this year. I will, however, supplement it later on with a 
new list of other Bargain Priced cacti and exotic, colorful suc- 
culents - and at sensible prices. 
The prices of my plants in this list are about the same as 
before the war. Postage has nearly doubled since then for fourth 
class packages. In order to keep prices low and quality high, I 
am forced to do almost all of the work myself - and for an old 
timer, this is really something. I love it, however, and I feel 
that my plants are making many people happy - I am really 
trying to do it for you. 
I mailed many “shut-in” gift plants last year but if I have 
overlooked any person whose name you sent in, please let me 
know and I will send it to them. Would like to boost #46 offer 
a little. It is outstanding because it makes a wonderful, fascinat- 
ing, easily grown, colorful rock garden of. plants that are dif- 
ferent. Each plant can also be used in single pots. Almost every 
one has wonderful summer flowers. 
Thanks for past patronage and new orders, and friendly 
letters that you may send. Also for the names that you have 
sent in. I really need them all if I am to keep these low prices. 
Going to try hard and get orders out promptly this year. Thanks, 
ROY C. FOOTE (Cactus Jack)
