A Friendly Word to our Patrons 
The mailing of this, our 1944 catalog, indicates the 
beginning of a new gardening year. To those who 
have traded with us for years, we thank you for 
your favors in the past, and with confidence, solicit 
your patronage together with that of the new com- 
ing horticultural enthusiasts this coming planting 
season. The most priceless thing we have is your 
good will; in war times or in times of peace, which 
we will strive to merit. : 
We face a new year with confidence and with in- 
creasing evidence that victory is not so far in the 
distance. 
The first consideration in your planting program 
is a victory garden, for the preservation of food, 
which can be made doubly enjoyable if surrounded 
with a border of flowering plants. 
Planting and tending a garden builds morale. to 
say nothing of the healthful benefits derived from 
being outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine. Dur- 
ing the past year, as far as it was possible, we de- 
voted a part of our acreage to the growing of food 
crops, which will be continued again this year with- 
out sacrificing the necessary attention required to 
maintain the high quality of our ornamental pro- 
ducts, a reputation we enjoyed for so many years. 
Hon. Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of Agriculture, 
said at the beginning of the war: “Gardening is one 
activity that has great possibilities as a useful out- 
let for that urge to do something. There is a 
spiritual uplift in seeing things grow,” which has 
been proven by those who found pleasure and bene- 
fits from growing things. 
We are prepared to serve you as we have in the 
past. As a special favor to us and advantage to 
you, may we have your orders early. 
Grow more Food this summer and Buy Bonds and 
Stamps regularly. 
Sincerely, 
B. F. BARR.
