Author Description

Excerpt from Woolson and Co. 'S Catalogue of Hardy Perennial Plants, Bulbs, Ferns, and Climbers: Spring of 1884 We once more present our friends and customers of our specialties, Hardy Plants and Bulbs, and would say that we can look back with pleasure upon the liberal and friendly support we have nu interruptedly enjoyed for the past seven years, and we trust that our pres ent efforts will meet with equally good results upon the publication of this our Eighth Annual Catalogue. Our customers will probably have noticed that we have maintained the same size of page throughout all the different editions of our Catalogues. This size seems to us to be the best and most convenient for carrying in the pocket, and the type we, always intend to have clear and easily to be read, while the paper is of such a quality as to display the good printing to the best advantage. Another matter which has seemed not unimportant in a catalogue of this kind is, that it is always sent out at; the use fulness of a catalogue or pamphlet of any kind is well nigh destroyed by having it rolled up or folded, thus leaving it anything but convenient for ready reference, and by sending out in envelopes this difficulty is en tirely avoided.
