"...too much of a strain and I can bear it no longer."
Hugo Beyer is not an easy seedsman to track down in publications so I have no anecdotes and few insights into this man. He seems a hard worker, and he worked as long as he could.
This catalog is not impressive visually, but interesting once read because this catalog is his last, and he writes about his career in the first few pages. I am just including the covers and his farewell here.
Remember, when he started, Iowa in early 1850s was the frontier, trains from Chicago had not crossed the Mississippi yet!
