ABOUT PLANT ORDERS—We offer this year only a 
limited number of hardy perennial plant varieties for live 
shipment, as compared with heretofore. The man-hours 
that formerly went into the production of such plants at 
our Nursery, and into the digging of them, and the assem- 
bling and packing of plant orders for shipment, we are 
now using in the commercial production on our farm, of 
vegetable seeds, primary essential for the maintenance of 
the nation’s food supply. We have condensed our plantings 
of the rarer flower species, but we are holding enough 
of each to harvest seeds from them ample for your needs, 
and no desirable kind is being lost. We suggest that you 
produce your own perennials from our seeds. It’s not very 
difficult, and you will have fun doing it. For the duration 
we shall offer full lines of seeds and of bulbs, certain live 
house plants, and a few selected kinds only of hardy per- 
ennial plants. Additionally we shall grow vegetable plants 
(and certain annual flower plants) in quantity for spring 
delivery. After Victory, we shall again produce, and have 
available, the same large offerings of rarer hardy plants 
as in the past.
