THESE PREMIUMS 
WITH EARLY ORDERS 
We like to show our appreciation for early orders with a real practi- 
cal “thank you.” While later orders are welcome, those received early 
can be worked ahead of the rush. These earlier orders are not shipped 
until the proper planting time, of course, but getting the book work 
done ahead of time means a saving for us. 
So if you send your order right away, you are welcome to your choice 
of the premiums below. But we reserve the right to select the premi- 
ums sent with later orders. 
You are entitled to more than one premium with the larger orders, 
alike or assorted as you wish. Please be sure to write your choice on 
your order; otherwise we won’t know what you want and none will 
be sent. Please don’t accumulate premium credit over several orders, 
but ask for your premuims each time an order amounts to $5.00 or 
more. 
Select any ONE premium on orders of $5.00 
Select any TWO premiums on orders of $10.00 
Select any THREE premiums on orders of $15.00 
With each additional $5.00, select one more premium.

Here you see the whole family supervising my bulb-planting. . 
That’s Annette standing, with Karen handing me the bulbs. Eleanor 
and Eddie are supervising from the porch steps. We’ll be doing more 
of this as soon as our new bulbs arrive from Holland. 
On behalf of all of us here at the seedhouse, I want to sincerely 
_thank you for the many fine orders you have sent this past year. We 
are particularly thrilled by them because they demonstrate your con- 
tinuing confidence in us, and they indicate that we’re doing our jobs 
well. Rest assured that we will continue to do everything in our 
power to merit your confidence in the future. 
Please order early, since we’re bound to run out of some items 
and those who wait till the last minute may be disappointed. 
Thanks again for your letters. We do enjoy hearing from you. 
Your Nursery Stock 
shipped POSTPAID 
if you live in 
this circle —=»_—~ 
In order to maintain our 
low prices on nursery stock, 
we must ask our customers 
who live over 600 miles 
from us (see map at right) 
to add 10% to the amount 
of their nursery orders only 
(trees, bulbs, shrubs, 
hedges, etc.) Seeds and 
other items, unless other- 
wise noted, are postpaid 
everywhere. So, if you live 
outside the circle at the 
right, please add 10% to 
the amount of your nursery 
order. 
While prices on a few things have risen since our Spring Catalog was sent to you, most prices held steady 
and you can order from it now. If you order any item where there has been a considerable increase in price 
we will write and tell you about it before booking your order. Anything which cannot be sent to you this Fall 
will be booked for delivery next Spring and you will be advised accordingly.
