Because of war conditions this year’s catalog becomes a price list. No 
space to get acquainted in; but that may come later. Many varieties are not 
included in this brief list. Many of those omitted here, but listed in 1941 and 
1942, are still in the garden and will be sold at those prices while limited 
quantities last. If you order from past catalogs, give me a list of acceptable 
substitutes. The only exception is the landscape collection which, because 
of labor conditions, cannot be offered this year. 
The number of orders which I can accept will be limited also. After as 
much work as I can take care of is accepted, all other orders must be returned 
as received.
