T HAS been three years since our catalogue first appeared 
without the price-list as an integral part. Much has happened 
since that time, and very little of it has been helpful to nursery- 
men. Indeed, the only possible good that can be attributed to 
these years is the doubtful privilege of learning to do without. 
Thus far, we have been unable to apply ‘Sweet are the uses of 
adversity” without a question! 
Now with the advent of this revised and up-to-date edition, 
we are beginning another period in which the same catalogue 
and price-list arrangement will be continued. So far as we are 
concerned, the experiment has proved successful, and we hope 
that you who have been on the receiving end have liked it too. 
We have tried to preserve the same high standards of stock 
and policy that have been part and parcel of our organization 
since its beginning, and which today are among our proudest 
assets. It is our hope that before long, improved world condi- 
tions will enable us to return to the old way of doing business. 
It sounds like ancient history now to recall details of operating 
procedure before the war! Many of the little services we used to 
perform as a matter of course, and which were taken for granted, 
are now abandoned perforce, but carefully set aside until they 
may again be practicable. 
Our thanks to friends who have stuck by us is unstinted. It 
means much to feel, as we do, that we shall have your help in the 
pinches and your indulgence in the awkward times. You may 
be sure that in return we will bend every effort toward your 
satisfaction and the fulfilment of our pledge to serve diligently 
and well.
