GARDEN ‘Toa More Beautiful —A~meriaa 
This is the year when your dream of a more beautiful home can come true! 
Shortage of rubber and gasoline may cause you to spend many more hours in 
your home surroundings—give you the time to plant—and to relax and enjoy 
the beauty you create. 


Perhaps this year your home can bz made more charming by the color and 
fragrance of a few flowering trees or shrubs. Perhaps it is your chance to plan 
and complete an outdoor living room—a rose garden—a greener lawn against a 
background of graceful shrubbery. 
“And, what better way is there to gain needed rest and relaxation than to spend a few quiet hours 
among growing things in the peace and beauty of your own garden? 
This year’s catalog is streamlined—to make it more useful to the small home owner and to those who 
may be planting shrubs and flowers for the first time. Consequently, we are listing and describing less 
than half of the varieties and sizes which we grow and offer. 
We invite inquiries regarding other varieties and sizes not listed, par- 
ticularly specimen trees and shrubs in large sizes for immediate effects. 
LOCATION 
Because gasoline and tire mileage is precious this year, we are bringing our nurseries closer to you! You will find 
Bay State Display Gardens and Garden Shops at three convenient locations listed below. Our Display Gardens at 
each address are kept fully stocked with selected plants and shrubs in season. You are cordially invited to visit, ask 
our Landscape Consultants for suggestions and hand-pick the specimen plants and shrubs you want. Our Garden Shops 
carry a complete line of Breck’s seeds and bulbs, garden implements, fertilizers, accessories and supplies. 
If inconvenient to call, mail or telephone orders to any of these addresses will receive prompt attention.
