UNCONDITIONAL 
SURRENDER 
Because of the necessity of winning the war, we are surrendering a large part of 
our ornamental plant business for the duration. We are abandoning all landscape 
contracting in order to increase our production of poultry, vegetables and seed 
specialties. 
This booklet is the only list we shall issue this season. However, we will be glad 
to furnish estimates on any list of nursery stock which you may require. 
The hybridizing and growing of new hardy Chrysanthemums has become a 
specialty with us. We have developed the Arcticum hybrids to the point where 
they are the finest Chrysanthemums for northern planting because of their ex- 
treme hardiness and early blooming habit. 
The varieties which we introduce this year are fully tested and formed a part of 
our FIRST PRIZE EXHIBIT at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society Show 
last fall. 
We invite you to visit our nursery, if possible, in September or early October to 
see our attractive display garden. There you will see not only the Mums listed in 
this booklet but also many others including new hybrids and seedlings still in the 
testing stage. 
Very truly yours,
