OUR GREETING FOR 1944 
“Food Fights For Freedom” and the people of America are producing and conserving 
every bit of food possible and thereby playing an important part In winning this war. This 
year, even more than last, everyone will grow all the food possible because the need is greater 
for our fighting men everywhere, for our allies and for ourselves. Fruit is food. This year as 
always, Baldwin’s nursery stock, ‘‘Dependable Since 1889” is ready to help you grow good 
crops of fine fruit. Besides knowing that you are doing a real part in the war effort there is 
a great satisfaction in raising your own fruit for your own use. And, too, don’t overlook the 
big profits to be made right now with fruit for market. A small space planted to straw- 
berries, raspberries, blackberries and Boysenberries will produce a good cash crop—and do 
it quickly. 
As to the supply of nursery stock, we are fortunate in having a reasonably good stock of 
most everything. The demand is greater than ever, however, so we hope you will order as 
soon as possible because when our stock is sold we cannot get more. Due to the general labor 
shortage it is not possible to offer you quite as complete a selection as in normal times, but 
you will find everything you need—even vegetable garden seeds. 
Let us say again that your business year after year is truly appreciated. On our part we 
try to give you the best nursery stock it is possible to produce—the kind you can depend on. 
You want to grow better fruit this year and every year. Write us if we can help you. 
REMEMBER— 
1. Every one who has room for a small fruit 
garden can cut grocery bills and provide 
plenty of healthful fresh fruit by grow- 
ing such quick bearing fruits as straw- 
berries, red and black raspberries, black- 
berries and Boysenberries. 
« Strawberries are a staple and valuable 
American food because they are low in 
cost, grow almost anywhere, produce a 
lot of fruit in a small space, are high in 
vitamin value, and are especially suited 
for use in so many ways—fresh, canned, 
jellies, jams, or frozen. Everbearing kinds 
planted this spring will bear this sum- 
mer; other kinds in June, 1945. Michigan
