Special Notice to PLANT PURCHASERS 
Due to the extremely unsettled conditions prevailing throughout our 
country and the world, and our inability to anticipate further restrictions to 
labor, production, packing, and shipping, we are, with much regret, omitting 
our usual offerings of plants from this present catalog. We are glad to say, 
however, that a list of plants will be available in time for spring planting 
which we shall be glad to forward on request. This will include, as in previous 
editions of our spring catalog, Perennials, Shrubs, Vines, dormant Roses, 
Dahlia and Canna plants, House Plants, Small Fruits, Hedge Plants, Vegetable 
plants and roots, and such Annual Bedding Plants as Geraniums, Lantanas, 
Ageratums, etc. 
We feel that we are being not more than just to our customers, whose 
patronage we value, in not attempting to make promises in our catalog in 
these hazardous and uncertain times, that conditions now unforseen may 
make impossible of fulfillment. 
We believe that our customers realize the serious conditions confronting 
us and after the present dire emergency is past, during which our supreme 
efforts must be extended to winning the war, we hope we may be able to 
publish a complete catalog of all our products, that will be equal to any in
