NORTH SHORE GARDEN MAKERS 
N THESE days of turmoil and strife let no one be tempted to think that 
gardening does not have its place among the many other defense activities. 
One can and will derive not only sustenance but wholesome physical re- 
laxation and peace of mind from working in the soil. He will learn that culti- 
vating the plot of ground adjacent to his home yields not only material fruitage 
but, within himself, the qualities of calmness, courage and enduring strength, 
needed today as perhaps never before. We learn from history of the renowned 
warrior who could not be without his favorite plants, so when setting forth 
on a campaign in the Mediterranean had space reserved on the deck of his ship 
for a small garden. He knew the value of direct contact with the earth and 
with growing things. : 
As you probably know, we are already aware of a shortage of herbs. Surely, 
you will want to include some of the aromatic and kitchen herbs in your Vic- 
tory Garden. Use them to border your vegetable garden or you can make a 
delightful fragrant path bordered with herbs, or you can combine them with 
your perennials. Our collection of herbs is the most complete grown in New 
England. We are anxious that you should know and grow more of them, and 
we are proud to say that we have not raised our prices. 
In our list of new and noteworthy plants, you will find many new intro- 
ductions which will add materially to the beauty of your garden. 
We are grateful indeed for the splendid patronage we have enjoyed from en- 
thusiastic gardeners and we are anticipating even greater response to the 
offers in this catalogue.
