and the 



DEFENSE 

 PROGRAM 



It has been stated that "gardening is the 

 greatest known rehef from individual and 

 mass hysteria." Therefore, our govern- 

 ment has proposed a program which will 

 encourage the civilian population to spend 

 more and more time out-of-doors in their 

 gardens. 



A MAN AND HIS GARDEN 



The ground that man prepares and plants returns 

 to him many fold what he has given it. The inspira- 

 tion of the flower turning its face to the sun, the cour- 

 age of the first blossom peeping through the last 

 snows of spring, the hope and strength of plants of 

 varied hues as they laugh and dance in the breeze, 

 the rhythm and grace of swaying trees, and the 



poetry of budding branches bring to man an en- 

 thusiasm that makes his garden a satisfaction and a 

 delight, and a source of joy that buoys him up and 

 helps him to carry on. 



Nature is undisturbed by events of this changing 

 world, so let us go to her for the relaxation and con- 

 tentment which we so sorely need. 



Our Terms of Sale — Please Read Carefully 



Special Notice — The greatest care is exercised to keep our stock clean and true to name. Should any prove otherwise, we will return 

 the money paid or replace it with other stock, but ive are not liable for damage beyond that. A sure indication of the purity of our 

 stock is the fact that customers of former years continue to deal with us. Certificote of inspection is attached to each shipment. 



HOW TO ORDER. To insure receipt of stock when wanted, order 

 as early as possible. Be sure that your name and address are 

 clearly written. In your address give postoffice, county and state, 

 and state clearly to what point goods are to be sent. If shipping 

 address is different than residence postoffice, be sure that you 

 give us the correct shipping point. Small favors thankfully re- 

 ceived always, but we cannot undertake to fill an order of less 

 amount than one dollar. 



SUBSTITUTION. It is our custom, should the supply of a variety 

 become exhausted (which occasionally occurs in all nurseries), 

 to substitute in its stead a similar sort, properly labeled, of course. 

 When it is desired that we shall not do this, it must be so stated 

 in the order. To simply affix the words "No Substitution" is all 

 that is necessary. 



SHIPPING. We deliver all goods to forwarders here without 

 charge, after which our control ceases, consequently our respon- 

 sibility also. We particularly caution patrons against ordering 

 Perennial Plants and Strawberry Plants shipped by freight; they 

 should always go by express, or in small lots by mail. Trans- 

 portation charges on all goods shipped by freight or express are 

 to be paid by the purchaser, unless arranged otherwise. 



SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST. Many plants offered can be 

 shipped to advantage by parcel post, especially to nearby points. 

 If such method of shipment is desired, kindly consult the sub- 

 heading of the desired article for cost of transportation. Any 

 overpayment will be refunded by us immediately after shipment 

 goes forward. 



TERMS. Payment should be made at time of ordering or before 

 shipment. We prefer to make no shipment C.O.D. but will, when 

 requested, ship in this way, provided 25 per cent of the amount 

 of an order is sent with the order, with return charges added. 

 Please do not ask us to open accounts for less than $10.00 orders. 



Prices in this catalog cancel previous quotations. The prices 

 quoted are for the quantities specified, but six, fifty or five hun- 

 dred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thou- 

 sand rates, respectively. Hundred lots may not be made up at 

 hundred rates for less than fifty of a variety. 



CLA'MS, if anv, should be made upon receipt of goods, when they 

 will be carefully and cheerfully examined and, if just, all made 

 satisfactory. Claims made after 15 days from receipt of goods 

 will not be entertained. We endeavor to send out only good 

 stock in good condition, carefully packed in all cases; but suc- 

 cess or failure depends in so large a degree upon the care and 

 management after received, that we do not, because we cannot, 

 undertake to guarantee stock to live.
