ANCHE year has ‘come and gone, and fortunately some of our more pessimistic 
predictions in the 1944 Price-List did not materialize. We were able to get most 
of the essential packing supplies and we didn’t have to work so many makeshifts in 
our operations after all. We did do a first-class “Houdini,” though, in running a 2000- 
acre nursery with somewhat less than half the usual number of hands. 
On the other side of the picture—we had to turn down a lot of perfectly good 
orders from old and new customers alike, because the days were too short and the 
help too scarce. We know that some of you were short-shipped and apparently 
slighted last winter as a result. And we know too that most of you took these mishaps 
in remarkably good spirit. 
Our greatest picasa’ would be to say, “Well, now that Hitler is practically put 
away and the end of the Jap War at least a lot nearer, everything is all right and your 
orders can be handled as they come in without batting an eyelash.” That*would be 
gtand/ The only trouble is that our war economy must be converted to peace economy. 
Now a few requests: 
{1} Please order as early as possible after you receive this Price-List. 
{2} Take as much stock as feasible, bare-root instead of balled and burlapped. 
{3} Do not expect split-second deliveries, and try to avoid specifying either shipping or 
arrival dates to the very day. 
{4} Try to understand our position and the fact that we are doing all we can for you 
under existing conditions. 
Let’s have your orders for roses and fruit trees first, with cash in full. They are 
the scarcest items again this season. Then tell us your ornamental wants; spruce up 
for the boys coming home. If there was ever a time to take inventory and get set 
for better days, this is certainly #.
