War-lTime Service 
So many of our men are in 
the Armed Services, and in 
Defense, it is hard for us to 
give the same service as 
before the War. We will try 
to give pre-war service, but 
believe we should mention 
the following points. 
Plants are reserved from 
estimated supplies. We try 
to make estimates conserva- 
tive, but unusual conditions 
may cause shortages. It is 
now difficult to protect 
customers by purchasing 
from other approved Nur- 
series, so should estimates 
fail, or should other condi- 
tions beyond our control 
prevent us from filling your 
order, we reserve the right 
to return your money and 
cancel your order. 
Size Limit for orders. We 
reserve the right at any 
time to limit the size of 
orders, without notice. 
Proper shipping time shall 
embrace a period of about 
30 days, and is determined 
by a forecast service to 
which we subscribe, and 
which we find to be about 
75% accurate. 
We cannot agree to ship 
[34] 
exactly on a certain date, 
or so that plants will arrive 
at a certain time. We can- 
not notify before shipment, 
or give orders other similar 
special handling. Sorry! 
We cannot agree to delay 
shipments beyond May 25. 
Because of difference in cli- 
mate we cannot ship orders 
in exact rotation as re- 
ceived. However, orders 
booked early are given pref- 
erence within their proper 
shipping time, or within 
your specified date range. 
Quick service: Before April 
Ist, for items that we can 
supply then, we can ship 
promptly; but from April 1 
to about May 20, we cannot 
do it with fairness, because 
of the many orders booked 
early in the season for ship- 
ment during that period. 
Please try to order at least 
two weeks ahead of expect- 
ed shipping date.

here to rush-fill your or-

order overseas for Uncle 
Sam, Please cooperate.

Order Your 
Shrubbery 
On page 26 of this book we have emphasized 
that shrubbery will be shipped in March. 
This is very important, on account of the 
By shipping shrubbery in March, we can 
utilize our experienced year-round men to 
pack them, but about April 1st many of 
these men must go outside to work in the 
nursery, and unless an end to the War 
makes more men available, we may have to 
refuse orders for shrubbery after April Ist.

At the time this catalog went to press, no part 
of the War had ended. However, an end to the 
War is not expected to relieve labor shortage 
materially for months.
