Dear Jriend: 
Since every facility at our disposal during these difficult times 
is concentrated on the production and maintenance of an adequate 
supply of perennials for our fine family of patrons, this war-time 
edition of our fall catalog is less elaborately compiled so that our 
time may be employed ‘‘out there’ for our mutual advantage. 
It’s really satisfying, though, to pause aq moment to reflect upon 
your fine, indulgent patronage, and to try to express the warm appre- 
ciation all of us here feel for your consideration. 
We feel sure that everyone of us has become acutely aware of 
the splendid market that exists for perennials and of the many profit 
possibilities in them now. We can’t stress too strongly the great ad- 
vantage that will accrue to this fall’s buyers. 
So, accept our thanks again for the multitude of fine relation- 
ships that you have so generously offered and we have so genuinely 
enjoyed. Everyone of us here pledge our complete effort toward your 
service with fine perennials, always to the very best of our ability. 
Sincerely, 
The Joseph GQ Martin Company
