Chank You | 
We wish to pay tribute to our customers, old and new, for the understanding 
and consideration shown us last spring. Not only were your orders of generous 
proportions, but your understanding of the difficulties under which we are 
| operating due to the war, and consequent shortage of man-power, displayed 
a tactful consideration which we deeply appreciate. 
With the idea in mind of saving both your time and ours, each order for 
bulbs or Roses, when filled, is accompanied by simple planting instructions. | 
This, in addition to the information contained in the catalog, gives you full 
and complete knowledge of our plants and tells you all you need ever know 
about them in order to obtain the maximum rewards in beauty. Thus have 
we tried to anticipate the questions which might naturally arise in your mind 
at the time your order is placed. 
We deeply appreciate your indulgence and patience and ask that you con- 
tinue to bear in mind these few thoughts: (1) Nursery products are always 
ordered in advance. (2) Simple planting instructions accompany each order. 
(3) We ship promptly at planting time.
