INTRODUCTION 
In the midst of our war difficulties we turn to our gardens 
as a source of comfort and release from anxiety and worry. 
Shall we not divert our thoughts and stimulate our interest by 
trying out new plant material? 
We offer this season many new and delightful plants. We 
feel that these are all worthy garden material if given good 
care and proper soil and situation. With increased cost of pro- 
duction we find we must advance prices slightly. 
Some worthy items are discontinued due to lack of supply. 
In many cases our stock is small. Early orders will be appre- 
ciated. We will ship whenever you are ready for the plants. 
__ We have small amounts of many items not listed. If you 
will write uS we may be able to supply your needs. 
Our collection of aromatic and culinary herbs will please 
you. They want more using! The adventurous cook will find 
many thrills here. 
Heights given in our descriptions are ultimate sizes. Plants 
sent out are not usually mature specimens. We can often fur- 
nish a variety of sizes at proportional prices to those listed. 
We have many of both larger and smaller sized dwarf ever- 
greens. All of our dwarf evergreens are grown from cuttings to 
insure their true dwarf characteristics. 
Read the terms of sale carefully! We can send you larger 
plants if you will pay express charges. 
We will not issue a full 1945 catalogue, so please retain 
this copy until you receive a later issue. We hope to put out 
only a small supplement of new items for 1945. 
Prices in this catalogue cancel any previous listings. 
Whenever it is possible, we would like to have you visit 
our garden. We are situated on a paved road one-half block 
east of the four-lane Portland-Oregon City highway, No. 99E. 
If you are approaching Portland from the south, turn to your 
right at Hull Ave.-crossing, which is about a mile north of 
Oregon City. If you are coming from Portland, turn to your 
left one block after you pass the interurban grade crossing at 
Jennings Lodge. If you become confused, ask anybody in the 
neighborhood. We have been here twenty-eight years. ‘We live 
at the garden, so. there is almost sure to be someone to wel- 
come you, no matter what time of day you chance to come. 
If you live too far away to drop in on us, try visiting by 
letter. We are always glad to get letters, and are pleased to 
answer all questions to the best of our ability. We grow a 
great many choice plants in quantity too small to list in the 
catalog. If you are interested in any particular type of plant, 
write us about it. We may be able to supply your needs.
