THE TRIS GARDEN 
DOROTHY STONER MERRIAM, KANSAS 
1944 
Again the catalog must be a brief price list. And I must make my bow 
to new and old customers as more unaccommodating than ever. Because of 
a late spring and labor conditions, no shipments can be made this year before 
July Sth. Southern customers may have orders reserved for September and 
send me the money at that time if they prefer. Because of the higher postal 
rates, no C. O. D. orders can be accepted and no order for less than $2.00. 
If you don't want that much, perhaps you can find a friend or neighbor to 
order with you.
