OFFICE WITH AZALEA FOUNDATION PLANTING 
Few Words to Our Friends^ 
A new year faces US. Not only on the calendar, but in general business condi¬ 
tions do we face changes which should spell improvement and bring a new 
■ outlook to all of us. There is a spirit of optimism in the air, and it is time for 
the home-owner, the gardener, and the fruit-grower to “show off” a little in pure 
exuberance. There are bare spots on grounds and gardens that have been overlooked 
or neglected; there are trees in groves and orchards that should be replaced; there are 
foundation groups that need to be changed; there are lonesome shrubs that need 
near neighbors. 
You change the decorations and furnishings of your home to keep up with the 
times, and because you get tired of looking at certain things day after day. It’s the 
same with the garden, it needs to be “pepped up with plants.” It can be done, and 
this is a good year to make the changes. 
Now, there is something else which we want to put straight. Some people hesitate 
to send in small orders, or to ask questions by letter. Please remember that no order 
is too small, and that we will gladly answer your questions. Send them in; we will 
take care of them. In addition to this, we invite you to visit the nurseries at any time; 
there are hundreds of interesting things to see. Come, you are welcome.
