“Garden Aristocrats 1940” 
This is the title of a descriptive booklet that we get out 
annually in January, It contains considerably more descrip¬ 
tive material than this list and also includes quite a number of 
very new things of which the present supply is too small to be 
included in a wholesale list. 
In January we will mail a copy of this booklet to every 
nurseryman in Washington, Oregon, and California whose name 
is on our mailing list. We shall be glad, upon request, to send 
a copy to any address in the world. 
Lining Out Stock 
For your convenience we have assembled this material on 
page 31. Much of it is scarce. 
Abbreviations 
It is important for buyers to know whether they are getting 
seedlings or cuttings, etc., so we have shown how every item 
was propagated using the following abbreviations: 
B—budded G—grafted 
C—cuttings S—seedlings
