Our Patrons
IN PRESENTING you with our 1929 Catalog — which i s smaller than those we formerly sent, we wish to assure you that it contains all the stock we formerly listed; illustrations and long descriptive matter have been reduced, and while we believe in illustrating and using color we have come to the conclusion you are very busy as well as ourselves and have not the time to read long descriptions, and by cutting down the size of our catalog we are giving our customers better prices. So compare ours with any other firm and believe ours are cheaper. Please do not feel that we do not give you quality for we are in a position to give you both service and quality. Last year one hundred and twenty-six thousand people sent us their orders, which should be proof that we are giving our customers real values. We have been in the business for thirty-seven years and can truthfully say it has been the most successful year in our experience.
One important point we are going to ask of you is that you let us ship your orders by mail or express with some soil on the plants, and for the additional cost we believe we can get plants to you in better shape than by removing the soil. If you will send 10c extra on each dollar we will leave on part of soil.

Rose Hill
A SPORT OF COLUMBIA. YES.
And it seems wonderfully appropriate — and fitting that this latest effort of the original Columbia should have seen the light in the “Old Home Town”, and with The Hills of Richmond.
There may be a future sport of Columbia that will be different from any yet produced, but Rose Hill will never be surpassed
As compared with any of Columbia’s previous sports, we make the following statement:
PETALS — It has much the best petalage, the guards being both long and broad, preventing crippled outer petals which always mar an opening rose when present.
PRICE, 1 -year-old, 40c, 3 for $1 .10; 2-year-old, $1.00 each, 3 for $2.68.

SCIENTIFIC ANT CONTROL
In order to understand effective ant control you must have at least 'a brief understanding (which we here supply) of the intensely interesting peculiarities of the life of these small, unsanitary pests which carry disease germs into your home, and even to the food within your ice box. Ants live in colonies. The colony from which your home is infested is divided into four groups of ants. 1. Queens which lay the eggs. 2 Nurses; which care for and hatch the larvae. 3. . Scouts; which travel broadcast seeking food. 4. Workers; which follow the trails blazed by the scouts, and carry the food back to the colony for consumption there.

“ Evergreen 99 Lawn Grass Seed
This is by far the best mixture of grasses offered for the purpose of quickly producing a permanent lawn. It is prepared from our own formula, and is a care¬ ful blending of varieties adapted to producing the thick growth and velvety appear¬ ance so much sought after. Each variety of grass in its composition is there for a special purpose; some for making strong fibrous roots, which take hold upon the soil and keep the turf in place, others of a creeping nature quickly fill up any bare spots which may be caused by the taller sorts dying down; varieties which are useful for their color value, and also kinds that are able to withstand the beating down of excessive rains. 40c per lb. By express, 5 lbs. for $1.75.
