INTRODUCTION 
With the war now upon us we turn to our gardens as a 
source of real comfort and a release from anxiety and worry. 
Shall we not divert our thoughts and stimulate our interest by 
trying out new plant material? 
We have many new items to offer this season. We feel 
sincerily that all the plants listed here are worthy garden 
material if given good care and the proper soil and situation. 
With increased cost of production we are obliged in some cases 
to advance prices slightly. With a lack of supply we are in 
many instances obliged to discontinue some items, but we 
may still have a small amount of these on hand and so be 
able to supply you if you will write us your needs. 
We find a real interest growing in the use of herbs and 
are happy to offer a limited collection of aromatic and culinary 
sorts. We have quite a few others not yet in suitable quantity 
for listing. The culinary herbs want more uses! There are 
many flavorsome thrills here for the adventurous cook. 
' Heights given in our descriptions are ultimate sizes, Plants 
sent are not usually mature specimens. We can furnish in 
many cases a variety of sizes at proportional prices. This is 
especially true in regard to dwarf evergreens of which we have 
both large and small specimens. Our evergreens are all grown 
from cuttings. We have found that this method of propagation 
insures the true dwarf characteristics. Plants grown from 
grafts are quicker but are apt to lose the dwarf form in time. 
Read the terms of sale carefully! We can Send you larger 
plants if you will pay the express charges. 
With future supplies so uncertain we may not be able to 
issue a catalogue next season. Kindly retain this copy until 
you receive a new issue. 
Whenever it is possible, we would like to have you visit 
our garden. We are situated on a paved road one-half block 
east of the four-lane Portland-Oregon City highway, No. 99E. 
If you are approaching Portland from the south, turn to your 
right at Hull Ave. crossing, which is about a mile north of 
Oregon City. If you are coming from Portland, turn to your 
left one block after you pass the interurban grade crossing at 
Jennings Lodge. If you become confused, ask anybody in the 
neighborhood. We have been here twenty-five years. We live 
at the garden, so there is almost sure to be someone to wel- 
come you, no matter what time of day you chance to come. 
If you live too far away to drop in on us, try visiting by 
letter. We are always glad to get letters, and are pleased to 
answer all questions to the best of our ability. We grow a 
great many choice plants in quantity too small to list in the 
catalog. If you are interested in any particular type of plant, 
write us about it. We may be able to supply your needs.
