to see it and to compare its quality and our 
prices with those of other nurseries. We wish 
to assure those customers who will find it im- 
possible to inspect our stock in advance before 
purchasing it, that we will use the greatest care 
in selecting fine plants with which to fill their 
orders. Flowerwood Nursery intends to be in 
business long after the war is over, and we know 
that our future business and the good will of our 
customers will depend upon our own good faith 
and integrity in serving them during the war. 
We have always used every effort to satisfy our 
customers who send in mail orders for stock, 
and have given their orders the same attention 
and care as if they had personally come to our 
nursery to select their plants, and we shall con- 
tinue to do this. 
We urge all nurserymen in larger sections of 
the country to cooperate with each other in 
placing orders for carload lots of nursery stock. 
This will work to everyone’s advantage in trying 
to keep our businesses going during these critical 
times. If all the nurserymen in a particular 
section would work out their requirements, where 
all the stock could be sent in carload lots, un- 
crated, they would get the benefit of the 20% 
discount offered, just the same as if they came 
to the nursery and picked up their plants, and 
their pro-rata share of the freight would be 
cheaper than their expenses in hauling the stock. 
We really believe that the retail market for 
nursery stock will be as good, if not better, than 
in the past, and that the whole trade should co- 
operate fully in working out the problems of 
getting the stock to these retail customers. 
To those who are still in position to travel, the 
maps on the back of this catalog show the loca- 
tion of Flowerwood Nursery. To reach the 
nursery from the City of Mobile, go to Govern- 
ment Street Loop (U. S. Highway 90), and go 
out Fulton Road to where this road intersects 
the Pine Crest Cemetery Road. On this road 
there are well-marked directions as to how to 
reach Cedar Point Road, where the nursery is 
located. 
We believe we have one of the finest retail 
sales yards in the South. It is completely 
stocked with fine plants, and we are always glad 
for both retail and wholesale customers to visit 
this yard. It is located on Holcombe Avenue, 
and can be conveniently visited on the way to 
our wholesale nursery. At Government Street 
Loop, instead of going out Fulton Road, go out 
Holcombe Avenue. There are a number of
