TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS 
With much gratitude we wish to thank you and 
express Our great appreciation for the generous sup- 
port you have rendered in making Carroll Gardens 
a success. We are, indeed, very grateful for this. 
We take great pleasure in presenting to you the 
1942 edition of our catalogue, in which we think we 
list one of America’s finest and most up-to-date 
collection of perennials and rock-plants that are 
not too difficult to grow. We also include some of 
the world’s finest new roses, with a selection of the 
best and most unusual varieties of shrubs, and 
evergreens. 
The plants we send out will be first-quality prod- 
ucts. Should you, at any time, receive anything from 
us that is not satisfactory, we want you to tell us so, 
for we are always ready to correct mistakes, and to 
make reasonable adjustments. 
A CORDIAL INVITATION 
Plan to visit our gardens this year. Our large 
formal garden is really a glorious sight from early 
spring until late fall. The large rock-garden and 
lily-pool have been very attractive this past season, 
and should be more so next year. Regardless of 
when you come during the growing season you will 
always find some new, unusual plants of real interest. 
We have close to 2,000 varieties of flowers, shrubs, 
roses, etc., and each year we always test many 
novelties. 
LOCATION. The gardens are located on U. S. 
Route 140, at “Fairground Hill,’”’ on the southern 
edge of Westminster. We are only 28 miles from 
the city of Baltimore and 22 miles from historic 
Gettysburg, Pa. 
YOUR GARDEN PROBLEMS 
This is a rather long list of plants and should 
you have difficulty in choosing what you need, we 
will be glad to help you select the best varieties 
for your purposes. 
This Catalogue does not cover everything we 
grow, but only such stock as we have a fair supply 
to offer. Correspondence is invited regarding other 
kinds not listed.
