1917 
ANOTHER YEAR and one DAY nearer to VICTORY. 
Every day in 1944 will be very important, full of strange 
and confusing events, exciting days. Each day must 
be fitted together like a jig-saw puzzle, and it will make 
a BANNER YEAR. 
With prices advancing by leaps and bounds, due to 
the labor shortage, wet growing season and with condi- 
tions in general, the plant and seed situation is very 
serious this year. Fruit trees are very scarce and just 
about off the market. None to be had. So bear with us 
this spring. The demand will again be heavy. We will 
get the orders out. We did it before, so we can do it 
again. SO LET THE ORDERS ROLL EARLY THIS YEAR 
TO OAK HILL. It will help us a lot to send your order 
as soon as you get this catalog. Especially SEEDS. With 
all the Victory Gardens and the rationing there is less 
and less vegetables and fruits on the market. So we 
will have to even grow more in 1944. We can always 
SAVE you some MONEY, because we do not have a 
fancy colored catalog or advertise at $1.50 a word as 
so many do. Our customers do our advertising. One 
tells another and THANKS to you that do. We do have 
good Nursery Stock. Grow our own with prices reason-
