a Message fo (Dj. P altrons — 
This catalog comes to you this season with the hope that we can be of still greater service in helping 
you to plan your garden, your orchard, or the foundation planting for your home. 
We are confronted with many obstacles, such as shortage of materials, labor, transportation facilities, 
etc., but we have unquestioned faith that the forces of freedom will prevail and we can go on planning 
for the future. 
Do not overlook the demand that will arise in the next few months and for several years to come, for 
fruit of all kinds. Apples, Peaches, Pears, Raspberries, and Strawberries are the favorites and those 
of us who vision ahead will be amply rewarded for our foresight. 
INFORMATION 
To order from the catalog, simply make your selection, write it on the order blank enclosed, with the 
proper prices as listed in the catalog and mail to us in the self-addressed envelope attached. 
SPECIAL NOTICE 
Due to the extremely high cost of materials such as burlap, twine, packing, etc., we are compelled 
to make a charge of 35c for handling if your order amounts to less than $3.00. It costs practically 
as much to pack a small order as it does a large one and such a charge is necessary if we are to main- 
tain our customary low prices. Your co-operation will be appreciated. 
GUARANTEE 
We guarantee stock to be first class in every way and up to size and quality as advertised. If you are 
not pleased upon receipt of stock, please advise us immediately and we will gladly replace the items 
or refund your money. 
If any trees should prove untrue to name, we will replace, upon proper proof, or refund purchase 
price. We cannot assume greater responsibility. 
TRANSPORTATION 
All our stock is shipped F.O.B. our nursery with the exception of such items as are marked postpaid. 
Due to existing emergencies, we deem it advisable to ship regular order express as freight shipments 
are quite likely to be delayed. 
SPECIAL OFFER FORJEARLY ORDERS 
Due to the fact that our business is crowded into a comparatively short period during the spring 
season and due to the extreme labor shortage, we will be taxed to the utmost. 
To those who send us their orders early, we offer the following PREMIUMS: 
Orders amounting to $5.00 or more received before March Ist, accompanied by cash in full, will 
have a choice of the following stock, FREE OF CHARGE: 1 Flowering Shrub (Our Choice), or 10 
Red Raspberry Plants (Our Choice), or 2 Perennials (Our Choice), or 1 Climbing American Beauty 
Rose. 
Orders amounting to $10.00 or more received before March 1st, accompanied by cash in full, will 
have a choice of the following stock, FREE OF CHARGE: 1 Climbing American Beauty Rose and 
1 Hybrid Tea Rose (Our Choice), or 3 Flowering Shrubs (Our Choice), or 25 Red Raspberry Plants 
(Our Choice), or 4 Perennials (Our Choice). 
Please do not ask us to send special varieties in our premium offer, as we must send the varieties of 
which we have the greatest surplus at the time of shipment. You can be sure they will be pleasing. 
Check over the catalog carefully and do not overlook the items that can be shipped postpaid. They 
are carefully priced and listed accordingly. 
TERMS 
Payment should accompany order. This saves 
expense of bookkeeping records and enables us 
to sell high-grade trees and plants at lower prices. 
To new customers, we extend the privilege of 
C.O.D. shipments—Provided one-fourth cash is 
sent with order. 
All shipments (with the exception of stock marked 
Postpaid) are F.O.B. our nursery. 
HOW TO PLANT 
A special ‘How to Plant’? Booklet will be sent 
with each order to help you get the best results. 
WHEN TO ORDER 
By all means, order early so we can reserve the 
varieties you wish and avoid disappointment 
when stock runs short. Traffic will be congested 
so plan your order ahead and mail it early. 
WHEN TO PLANT 
Planting can be done any time after the frost is 
gone and the plants are still dormant. In most 
states, the spring planting season extends from 
March Ist to June 1st, and the fall season from 
Oct. 15th to Dee. Ist.
