To our Garden Friends: 
We wish you to understand why we omit our spring catalog 
this year. It is from no lack of interest and enthusiasm, nor from 
failure to offer this season the fascination of new plants of whose 
individual appeal we should like to tell you. Reconstruction of 
the Baltimore Pike is approaching our section, causing through 
traffic to be detoured around us. Yet in our actual neighborhood 
the road promises to remain untouched until fall, so that by dis' 
regarding Detour Sign at Lima you can reach us as usual. Our 
customers from Wilmington will find a good road via Village 
Green to Lima. 
Owing to this uncertainty regarding the road, we are under^ 
taking for 1937 to make delivery whenever feasible, and assure 
you that orders by phone will receive the same personal attention 
you find when we have the privilege of assisting you here in mak' 
ing selection. 
However, we look forward each season to meeting you again 
and to renewing our friendships through our mutual delight in 
flowers, so trust you, too, will not wish to miss the joy of the 
Garden visit. 
We offer landscape service, allowing our patrons the saving 
resultant on our furnishing ourselves the plants required. 
Till we meet in our Gardens, 
Tour friends, 
Elizabeth S. Pennell, 
Hannah S. Pennell.
