OUR GREETING FOR 1943 
Once again it is a real pleasure to send this annual catalog to our 
many friends and customers. It is our opportunity to thank all of you 
for the business you have given us year after year. In this 1948 catalog, 
along with the many items of nursery stock we regularly grow, are sev- 
eral items we have never had before—making a most complete list for 
you to select from. 
Here are some self-evident truths: 
1, During the war years, and after, fruit growers are going to get high 
prices and make money. By planting now you can most quickly 
harvest a profitable crop. 
Every one who has room for a small fruit garden can cut grocery 
bills and provide plenty of healthful fresh fruit by growing such 
quick bearing fruits as strawberries, red and black raspberries, 
blackberries and Boysenberries. 
Strawberries are a staple and valuable American food because they 
are low in cost, grow almost anywhere, produce a lot of fruit in a 
small space, are high in vitamin value, are the first fruit to ripen in 
the early summer, and are especially suited for use in so many ways 
—fresh, canned, jellies, jams, or frozen. 
Gasoline and tire rationing will make many people stay at home— 
that means time to plant fruits, flowers, shrubs—to generally im- 
prove home surroundings. 
Over the fifty odd years since we began business in 1889 the Baldwins 
have accumulated much knowledge in the production and shipping of 
superior grade nursery stock. Our experience is yours to call on not 
only before but also after you have received your shipment. Write us 
at any time. Today on fruit farms all over the country customers are 
picking fine crops from plants and trees received from us—saving money 
with home gardens or making money on the market. Never before have 
fine quality nursery stock and a dependable nurseryman been needed 
more than now when so much depends on each of us doing his part in the 
problem of food supply. We pledge ourselves to do our best to give you 
the finest nursery stock possible, and we ask for your order knowing you 
will be fully satisfied in every way.
