Dear Friends: 

Another year of War and Privations has passed since you 
received our 1943 Catalog. A year in which we have all suf- 
fered the loss of friends and relatives, faithful employees and 
trusted companions. 
With all the inconvenience of the shortage of help, the 
difficulty of getting supplies necessary to the conduct of our 
business, along with most unfaverable weather conditions, we 
have by the extra effort of our organization been able to keep 
up our Nursery plantings and handle your orders as efficiently 
as possible, 
We will continue to grow as much nursery stock (mostly 
Fruit Trees and Fruit Bearing Plants) as the limits of our 
present facilities will accommodate, always making it our 
Business to see that the quality for which our Trees and Plants 
are well known, shall never lapse. 
You have our assurance that, if you favor us with an order, 
it will receive our personal attention and you will receive plants 
with which you will be most pleased. 
We especially want to thank the thousands of customers who 
favor us with their order each year (scores for as many as 
30-40 years) and kindly recommend us to friends interested 
in Quality Nursery Stock. This Confidence is a source of 
great pride to us and we deeply appreciate it. 
Cordially yours, 
WILLIAM F. KELLY.
