GA Message to Cur Patrons 
In checking over this catalog of 1945 you will find several of the old favorite varieties missing, especially among the standard fruit trees. 
This is due mainly to the fact that we have not been able to plant in the quantities of previous years on account of the shortage of labor 
and many varieties of fruit trees that have been sold since last spring and fall cannot be replaced. 
Our brother nurserymen are much in the same position as ourselves and are unable to supply us with additional stock as in the past so if 
you fail to find all the varieties that you wish, please bear with us and if we can secure some of these wanted varieties later in the spring , 
we shall be most pleased to advise you accordingly. Prices are higher than in many years but the shortage of stock, the scarcity and high 
cost of labor, materials, etc., are directly responsible for these changes. 
In spite of these handicaps, you may rest assured that we shall do everything in our power to give you the best that the market affords 
and to ship your orders as promptly as conditions permit. We shall look forward to receiving your orders and may we emphasize the fact 
that you send your orders just as soon as possible as our stock of all fruit trees, berry plants, etc., will be very limited and early orders 
will receive preference. 
INFORMATION 
To order from the catalog, simply make your selection, write it on the order 
blank enclosed, with the proper prices as listed in the catalog, and mail to us 
together with your check or money order in the self-addressed envelope 
attached hereto. A special ““How to Plant” Booklet will be sent with your order. 
SPECIAL NOTICE 
Due to the extremely high cost and scarcity of materials such as burlap, 
twine, packing, etc., we are compelled to make a charge of 40c for handling, 
if your order amounts to less than $5.00. It costs practically as much to pack 
a small order as it does a large one and under the circumstances, we know you 
will bear with us and your co-operation will be appreciated. 
GUARANTEE 
We guarantee stock to be first class in every respect and up to size and quality 
as advertised. If you are not pleased upon receipt of stock, please advise 
immediately and we will gladly replace the items. 
Most cordially yours, 
E. H. BURSON NURSERY, 
F. J. Stckies, President 
If any trees should prove untrue to name, we will replace under proper proof 
or refund purchase price. We cannot assume greater responsibility. 
TRANSPORTATION 
All our stock is shipped F.O.B. our railroad station with the exception of 
such items as are marked postpaid. 
Due to existing emergencies, we deem it advisable to ship regular orders 
express as freight deliveries are very uncertain. 
TERMS 
Payment should accompany order. This saves expense of bookkeeping records 
and enables us to sell high grade trees and plants at lower prices. 
WHEN TO ORDER 
Due to the extreme shortage of all kinds of fruit trees and small bush fruits, 
it is very necessary that you order early so that the stock may be reserved 
for you to avoid disappointment. Railroads are overtaxed with war work too, 
so please co-operate as much as possible.
