What better way to announce the coming of Spring than to have Mather flature 
send the warmsoothing rain to tell us that it is time to think about our 
gardens .Rain is a welcome thing efter Winter of snow and sleet,which at th 
the time it Cones,seems never to end. When it does come,the plants seem to 
say to each other," Come it is time for us to be Sending up our green shoots 
and show our gright green leaves to the world.We are happy and we want the 
Whole world to be happy too." Such are the thoughts of the plants. 
Now let's take the thoughts of the individual person and see what we have 
Spring is well on its way and all of a sudden it is realized that ¢there igs 
work to be done in the garéen, Out- come pencils end p&per and a list is made 
of the things to be purchesed from the nursery. Then comes the problem of 
where to buy plants. It is the purpose of this catalogue,es in past years,to 
put before you Annuals and Perennials which you are acquainted with as well 
a3 some of the newer ones that you have read about in the garden magazines 
during the long winter months. 
Due to conditions abroad,some of the seed is scarce making the prices 
higher With the exception of a few items,the prices in this catalog will 
remain the same as lest year. This alse applies to the Gardencraft Shop as 
I was able to purchase goods at the same prices.One of the wholesale houses 
visited in March showed the effect of the present wer as many of the shelves 
which contained exquisite Italian goods ware bere,yand it is not known when 
other shipments will be in this country .Nowever the prices have not gone up 
on these things and business igs going on as usual.Now is the time to buy 
the things you have lovoked at and wanted,but heave not purchased.Remember, 
we may not be able to get any more when these are gone. 
The plants,both Annual and Perennial have mede the most of the fine 
growing weather we have had and they are fine strong plants. The Annuals 
will be sold per box,w.th a dozen plents in a box and not less then helf 
a dozen will be sold from each box as it may spoil the count for someone 
else.The varicties ere wide in range and you wili be pleased witn them it 
is assured. The Perennials are listed as to color,height,use and blooming 
season,and you will find almost anvthing,Annual or Perennial,in the follo- 
wing pages. If you do not, just let me know and it can be ordered for you.
