Foreword 
HIS CATALOGUE aims to supply our customers not 
only with a list of the planting material available here, 
but with a knowledge of what they can expect of us. 
As another tree and shrub planting season approaches, we 
first wish to thank those whose liberal patronage of last sea- 
son made it one of our best years. We solicit a continuance of 
that patronage, with the assurance that we, as operators and 
employes, will make every effort to please. 
We are fortunate in having started in pre-war days a large 
stock of some items requiring from three to five years to grow 
into desirable specimens. In this stock are many fine Azaleas, 
Camellias, Hollies, and other broad-leaved evergreens. And 
while we have had to curtail production of many Items, we 
have kept up the production of both small and medium sizes. 
But, generally, there is a great scarcity of quick crops, 
particularly of Roses and certain flowering trees and shrubs 
grown in the fields—items which the plantsman always has 
when there is plenty of labor at moderate wages, but which 
shrink when labor is scarce and high. We still have these 
plants but we simply do not have the usual supply, and as the 
season advances many will disappear from the market. It is 
of the greatest importance that purchases be made early this 
season. 
During the emergency many of our customers necessarily 
do not have the gasoline and tires to make trips to the nurs- 
ery. To those who must order by mail we wish to give the 
personal assurance that the closest attention will be given to 
digging, packing, and shipping all orders. Last season we 
were pleased to note that most cars at the nursery were filled, 
indicating that those who had business 1m this locality brought 
many with them who otherwise could not have come. 
Last year there were some busy days when our Itmited or- 
ganization could not wait on all who came. It may happen 
again at the height of the coming season, and we suggest 
writing or telephoning for appointments, especially if you 
must come a long distance. 
The same officers and employes who diligently Iabored 
last season are again pledged to give you faithful and courte- 
ous service. We have every reason to believe we can take 
good care of your orders.

APPOINTMENTS INVITED 
If you are coming to the nursery to make selections of 
plants, we suggest that you write or telephone for an appoint- 
ment, to be sure of being served without delay. 
There were times last season, especially on Sunday after- 
noons and the days at the height of the planting season, when 
some came and went away disappointed. An appointment 
makes sure you will be served.

pointment of possible failure to get order filled complete. Orders may 
be sent early and stock reserved for later delivery.
