1941 SPRING CATALOGUE 
Windbreak Stock 
“We better love the hardy gift 
Our evergreens bestow, 
To cheer us when the storm shall drift 
Our harvest fields with snow.” 
'"pHE writer spent the winters for over twenty years in calling on the farmers in 
A much of the territory now covered by these catalogs and assisted them in planning 
their orchards and windbreaks. Many fine evergreen windbreaks were planted during 
those years and most of them have become valuable assets to the farms because 
of the protection and beauty which they have furnished. A few of these windbreaks 
as well as many of the natural groves were not able to withstand the drought of 
1934 and so there are many farms badly in need of windbreaks now. During those 
years of visiting farms we learned much about what, how and where to plant to 
secure the best windbreak and if you expect to plant a windbreak we could probably 
give you much valuable information if you would ask us, and we will be glad to 
assist you. Just let us know that you are interested and we will call on you if 
possible, or at least will answer your questions by mail. Please do not wait until our 
spring rush begins before writing us.
