1943 
Will Be a Difficult Year 
For Every Nurseryman 
March, April and May always are three months 
of great pressure for nurserymen. Not only must 
thousands of orders be shipped but thousands of 
young plants must be put out into the fields in 
only twelve short weeks. A tremendous job at 
any time! In 1943 with all our young men and 
sons in the Army or Navy, most of the work 
must be done by women and the few of us who 
are left. Because of these circumstances we are 
asking you a special favor. 
Send us your order as soon as you have made 
your selection. Do not delay mailing it to us! 
Much preliminary work must be done before the 
actual shipping of plants is possible. Carefully 
state the earliest possible date you can do your 
planting so that we may know when to ship. 
Do your planting early. It will help you even 
more than it will help us. The earlier plants, 
shrubs or Roses are set out in the spring, the 
better results and finer flowers you will have.
