YOUR KIND ATTENTION, 
PLEASE 






To all our customers who are members of the American 
Association of Nurserymen, it is not necessary to call 
attention to the fine service being rendered by that or- 
ganization to our entire industry. But to you who are not 
members, let us say that you are missing a service which 
is worth many times its cost. You should belong and get 
this service for your own benefit. We hope that all 
_nurserymen, who have not already done so, will send in 
their request for an application blank to Richard P. White, 
Secretary, American Association of Nurserymen, Room 
635 Southern Bldg., Washington 5, D. C. (or if you prefer 
you may send this request to our office). 










OUR SERVICE IN A NATION AT 
WAR 
The past year has seen many changes in our ways 
of living. Each and every one of us are doing our 
part in the war program. Industrial and Agricul- 
tural production, thrift, War Savings Bonds, and main- 
tenance of morale all play a very important part here 
at home, while our men in the service are sacrific- 
ing so much in all parts of the globe. The Nursery- 
man’s place in all this effort is an important one. Not 
only in helping to maintain morale, but in the growing 
and caring for material which is finding its place in the 
profession of camouflaging industrial plants and other 
military objectives. The propagation and the culture 
of Fruit Trees, Small Fruits, Garden Roots and Herbs 
to be used for kitchen use and Medicines and Drugs 
are all very important angles in the picture of greater 
war effort. 
In the growing of food our industry has contributed 
heavily to the supply of many of the most essential 
items required by our armed forces and civilian popu- 
lation. 
We feel that our office is rendering a valuable service 
in the fact that our knowledge of sources of supply can 
create a great saving in time and gasoline when our 
clients are trying to locate material of a certain type 
for a certain purpose, camouflage, or regular landscape 
plantings. We try to and do have this information at _ 
hand whenever possible to obtain the material, and we 
welcome inquiries at all times. 
In the program of greater food production do not 
neglect the planting of Fruit Trees, Small Fruits, Gar- 
den Roots, and Herbs; and well-kept grounds with a 
planting of Shrubs, Evergreens and Roses contribute 
immensely to a bit of relaxation from the tenseness 
caused by the more sobering things we face continually 
during this trying period.
