Dear Friends: 
It is again a pleasure to send you your copy 
of our general nursery catalog. 
In its preparation we have been very careful 
in offering only the best plants in their respective 
classes—plants that have proven dependable by 
test, plants that have been properly grown in 
the nursery, where no expense has been spared 
to produce vigor, health and vitality. 
Since our last issue many friendships have been 
strengthened and new contacts have been made 
and in many ways the experience has been one 
of inspiration to be greatly cherished. 
To those who purchased Barr’s flowers, plants, 
shrubbery and trees sometime during my career 
of forty-five years, I give my thanks and the full 
assurance that a continuance of your good will 
and favors will be appreciated as in the past. 
To those who have never purchased our stock 
we hope to receive a trial order. We shall ex¬ 
pect repeat orders only on the values and service 
we give you. 
It is our aim to be a real service to those who 
plant annuals for a season, as well as those who 
plant trees for the future. 
And so with this expression of appreciation 
for your patronage and help in the past, and trust¬ 
ing we will have the privilege of serving you this 
coming season, I am, 
Sincerely yours, 
Gbbleciatiou.
