Winter, 1944-45 
Dear Garden-Loving Friend: 
It is indeed a pleasure to mail you a copy of our catalogue in 
response to your kind request. It was published for Spring and Fall 
1944 and Winter 1945, with prices as of December, 1943. We all know 
the changes in supplies and prices that have taken place meanwhile 
in every business so that in the forthcoming catalogue, now being 
printed, it is necessary to make some revisions; we will be obliged 
to raise prices on quite a few items, and discontinue some, to par- 
tially offset our mounting costs of doing business. However, during 
December, January and February we are accepting and booking orders, 
with remittance, made up from this catalogue after you have noted 
the information on these pages. 
It may hardly be necessary to tell you of the importance of placing 
your order well in advance of the shipping and planting season. 
Should correspondence about your order be necessary, there will be 
time during the winter to advise on shortages or matters of culture. 
We therefore look forward with pleasure to doing business with you 
during the Winter and promise that your thoughtfulness in ordering 
early will be reciprocated with good plants and good service that 
will not only be a credit to us but bring you a lot of garden en- 
joyment in the years to come.
