F. H. HORSFORD CHARLOTTE, VERMONT 
Our 1944 Catalog... 
Represents our best effort to list and describe our stock in the briefest, 
most concise and economical way in keeping with these war times and con- 
ditions. It will be supplemented about August Ist with a list of Iris, 
Peonies and other items best planted in the Fall. 


PRICES 
Quality considered, we do not believe the values we offer can be equaled 
anywhere in the North. We have had to increase the prices of a very few 
items that we cannot propagate here readily but in general, all of our peren- 
nials, hardy ferns and shrubs are offered at our old rates, or with only negli- 
gible increases. 
SPECIALTIES 
In pursuance of our aim to handle only the best in the hardy plant line 
we are offering this year only those Hardy Lilies that we can certify as free 
of the insidious mosaic disease. This step precludes our offering some 
varieties we formerly carried and postpones delivery of others until autumn. 
See page 11 of this Catalog for further information. 
Our list of Hardy Chrysanthemums includes the latest introductions in 
the varieties that are truly hardy and that will flower early enough to escape 
damage from frost. 
In the Hybrid Lilacs, often called “French Lilacs,” we are handling only 
plants grown on their own roots. ‘This ensures our customers the best and 
most satisfactory stock obtainable. While our list is somewhat limited at 
present, we have a number of varieties in stock not offered in this Catalog 
and invite your writing us for any desired sort not listed on page 24. 
NOTICE: Regarding small lots of assorted plants or shrubs. 
One to four plants of one identical kind or color will be priced at the each rate, 
except in the case of perennials where the rate for three of the same kind is 
60 cents. 
This is necessary as each different kind or color has to be wrapped and labeled 
separately and considerable time is required to assemble an order made up of 
small lots of kinds that are widely separated over the nursery.
