Preparedness 
Our country has been, and still is, vitally inter¬ 
ested in the matter of National “preparedness.” 
Commercially there is the same need. Nurserymen 
all through the states still smart under the incon¬ 
venience, worry and recriminations of their customers due to 
protracted delay in the ground opening-up last spring. We along the 
Lakes, never had our hands tied so late before, and hope never again. 
But the experience was a warning. To be on the safer side, if we’ve 
got to buy stock for early spring delivery, and know it now;—why 
don’t we get it this fall and store it in our cellars, and BE READY 
FOR THE SPRING RUSH? Those who haven’t cellars large enough 
for complete storage, may obtain nearly the same benefit by ordering 
from us now, so that we can dig this fall and store in our immense 
frost-proof cellars. We are told they are the largest, safest and best 
handled in the United States. 
Again, you all know that field grown Roses and Shrubs of all kinds 
are over-topping all other items in the sales of the last two years. 
The demand is still growing. The supply is not keeping pace. By 
spring, lists of varieties will be all shot to pieces, and the man who 
waited with his ear to the ground, will wish he hadn’t been so cautious. 
STOCK UP is the thing to do,—and DO IT NOW! 
FRUIT TREES have been suffering a slump latterly. Don’t be 
discouraged or misled, they are coming back. Are you ready for the 
demand? We have a very complete stock still intact, and would be 
pleased to fill your requirements in this line. 
Foreign Bulbs have given us and all importers a lot of worry and 
trouble this fall, some of them not having arrived even yet. Al¬ 
though not to blame, we wish to apologize to our bulb customers for 
delay and shortages.
