Dear Friends: 
Under the name HEREFORD’S GARDENS we 
have made many friends and have appreciated your 
patronage. Beginning this year, our business will 
be carried on as LOUNSBERRY GARDENS. We 
wil continue to give the best service and to furnish 
the best plants possible under present conditions. 
Shortage of labor and time has affected all of us, yet 
flowers are as Important as ever—perhaps even more 
necessary to keep our home plantings beautiful and 
our courage high. 
As soon as more labor is pee ilabie: our perennial 
list will be built up agam. Until then we hope your 
garden will blossom abundantly, and to this end 
we are offering some of the old dependable varieties 
that are most in demand. 
Since most of the spring-blooming wild flowers 
start growth with the first warm days, we suggest 
that you place your order as soon after receiving 
this list as possible and tell us how early you can 
receive them. These early orders will also make it 
possible for us to give better service. Shortage of 
help makes it difficult to care for all business dur- 
ing the planting season as we did in normal times. 
‘Every order will be acknowledged promptly 
and will receive careful attention. Shipments will 
be made on specified date for orders booked early 
and as promptly as possible for those received at 
planting time. Please place orders well in advance 
if possible. 
Orders will be sent by Parcel Post unless the 
size of the order makes Express advisable. We 
prepay all shipping costs.
