To Our Customers and Friends... . 
These days gardening takes on a new significance for many of 
us. With the whole world at war we find ourselves often confused, 
troubled, or perhaps disheartened by sad news. Thus for all of us, 
gardening can be a source of solace and relaxation and a renewal 
of courage. We are all familiar with that sentiment that “‘man is 
closer to God in the garden than anywhere else on earth,” and 
now more than ever do we realize its truth. 
In presenting our 1945 catalogue we are offering the best in 
new and popular perennials for your garden, together with a se-

catalogue issues, we have suggested the planting of perennials in 
You Are Welcome

but whenever possible, we shall be delighted to have you visit 
our display grounds and nursery which are located on U. S. 
Route 140, at ‘Fairground Hill,” on the southern edge of West- 
minster. We are only 28 miles from the city of Baltimore and 22

groups of three.or more of one kind. This year for your benefit as 
well as ours, MAY WE STRONGLY URGE THAT YOUR 
ORDERS BE PLACED FOR THREE, SIX, OR TWELVE OF 
A VARIETY. First of all, you will have a more effective garden 
display; and secondly, the savings in Jabor, packing, and shipping 
materials can be passed on to you. 
Everyone realizes that due to present-day conditions operat- 
Ing costs have advanced. In order that we may maintain our 
usual standards of quality and prompt service, you will note 
from the Price Table on page 3 that it has been necessary to in- 
crease our prices slightly. 
Your Garden Problem 
We are sure that the two new booklets offered free to our 
customers on the order sheet will be of great help to you. How- 
ever, you may wish advice in selecting varieties for particular 
places in your garden. We shall give your correspondence our 
careful attention. Let us call your attention to the fact that we 
often have many plants which are not listed in this catalogue. 
Please Note — 
Guarantee. We guarantee any plant we sell to be true to name 
and to reach you in fresh, healthy condition. On items that prove not 
to be as represented, we will replace or refund the purchase price. 
Terms. Cash or satisfactory reference must accompany all orders 
from parties unknown to us. ORDER EARLY AND SAVE. Special 
5 percent cash discount on all orders received before March 10. To 
new customers who receive this catalogue after that date, we will 
grant the discount for two weeks after they obtain their copy. Com- 
plaints, if any, must be made in writing to us within five days after 
receipt of goods. 

Transportation. We prepay transportation charges on orders 
amounting to $3.00 or more, east of the Mississippi on practically all 
plants listed; west of Mississippi please add 10 per cent to the amount 
of the order. Some special orders calling for large shrubs, evergreens, 
trees, potted roses, etc., will be shipped either Parcel Post or Express 
Collect. Orders less than $3.00, add 35 cts. for postage and packing. 
Time of Shipment. Regardless of when your order is received, 
plants will be shipped at the proper planting-time for your locality. 
Some varieties are best transplanted at a certain time of the year, and 
we reserve the right to hold shipment of that part of your order till 
the proper planting season for such varieties included in your order. 
SPECIAL NOTICE TO OUR LOCAL CUSTOMERS 
A complete selection of annual flower plants for bedding and window-boxes will be available 
at our nursery during the planting season. Also, as a special feature this spring we’ll have a 
fine selection of vegetable plants for your Victory Garden. If you can’t call at our place as you 
did in the past, due to gasoline shortage, order by mail and we’ll see that your order reaches
