Winfield, Kansas 
January, 1939 
TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS: 
Dear Folks: 
That we might show you the Winfield Nurseries, that 
parent garden of the flowering and fruiting stock that 
is being sent out under our labels, has often been our 
wish. Such a trip being impractical to most of you, 
we are doing the next best thing, presenting you with 
our Catalog of Fruits and Flowers--bring the Winfield 
Nurseries to you, within your grasp, your range of 
vision--and in this crude way point out to you the un¬ 
told possibilities and beauty that may be derived from 
Rogers’ trees and plants. 
We offer you sound, healthy stock, potential in bloom 
and fruitage, and by reason of special training and long 
experience we can aid you in your choice. Yours, how¬ 
ever, is the privilege of selecting, planting, caring 
and storing up that most delightful and responsible of 
vocations. Order abundantly today with thought for 
future needs, that you and yours may harvest with both 
pleasure and profit. 
Thanking you for your past business and awaiting your 
early orders, which, we assure you, will receive our 
prompt attention and careful consideration, and with 
best wishes to you all for the coming season. 
Very sincerely, 
THE WINFIELD NURSERIES 
Per Thos. Rogers 
WHEN TO ORDER 
Just as soon as you receive this catalog make out your order and send it to 
us so that we may reserve the stock you want. 
Our plants sell out early every year, and many customers who wait until 
planting time to order are disappointed. Orders are booked in rotation, and 
first orders receive first attention according to shipping date on order. This 
is the only fair thing to do. 
The spring shipping season opens usually about February 20, depending 
on the weather and continues the greater part of May. Fall orders can be 
filled in October and November, but spring planting is best. 
Nursery stock is not like dry goods! When the supply is sold out, it takes 
a whole year to grow more. Get your order in early so that we may reserve 
your stock until spring shipping time. Don’t be impatient about shipping dates 
as weather conditions often hinder the regular digging of stock. We do our 
best to ship your order as specified. 
HOW TO ORDER 
Use the order blank provided in this catalog. GIVE COMPLETE NAME

blanks sent upon request.
