YOUR GARDEN IN NINETEEN FORTY-ONE 
This organization was founded ninety-three years ago 
by Robert Douglas, one of America’s pioneer nurserymen, 
and not in ninety-three years has the American garden 
been so important—so essential and necessary—as it is 
right now. For in this troubled world the garden can 
play a vital role. 
Far more than a collection of trees, shrub and bloom, 
far more than a thing of beauty, the garden brings a mo- 
ment of quiet and peace at the end of the day. It leads to 
clean earth, to fundamentals. It yields solace, calm, per- 
spective. 
Within these pages you will find much to help you in 
the building of a vital garden. You will find listed plant 
material which the experiences of almost a century as Amer- 
ican nurserymen have shown us to be adapted to your gar- 
den,—to your garden which in nineteen forty-one can help 
materially to preserve and further the democratic, the 
American way of life.
