Dear Friends and Customers: é 
With regard to your kind inquiry, we are sending | sHeRwooo. (ff

you our latest catalogue under separate cover. We 
hope that in addition to giving you a list of our 
stock and its prices, our catalogue will be a source 
of valuable information when you begin to plant and 
cultivate your trees, plants, and shrubs. 
During these times, trees are very scarce as are most other items. If you are in- 
terested in a large quantity of stock, please place your order as soon as possible in or- 
der to avoid the disappointment that may come with later ones if we are unable to supply 
the complete amount of your orders at their later date. 
We are so hard-pressed for time that if in our correspondence with you, we do not 
answer all questions, please be patient withus. You will find a great deal of informa- 
tion regarding spraying, planting, and pruning in our catalogue. We are anxious to help 
you with your problems but during our busy shipping time, we may overlook some of your 
questions. If you will bring your problems to us during the summer months, we will have 
much more time to help you. 
If you should not receive your order as quickly as you expect to, please bear in mind 
that we will get it to you as soon as possible. Because the freight and express lines 
are so over-crowded, your orders are in transit longer and because of the labor shortage 
in our own shipping department, it may take us longer to prepare your order for shipment. 
You may be certain, however, that you will receive your orders at the proper planting 
time. 
Shipment can be made at any time now. It is unsafe to make shipment before this 
time of year as the plants are not dormant enough to dig and ship at an earlier time. 
We are certain that you will find our trees of the best quality, even under the exist- 
ing conditions. Our grafting wood and buds are carefully selected to insure all planters 
of extra heavy producing trees which will naturally give better profits. We have had to 
discontinue some items for the duration because we feel that we should devote most of 
our time and effort to the more important, food-producing plants. However, after the war, 
we expect to add many new and improved varieties to our stock. 
Very truly yours, 
TUALATIN VALLEY NURSERIES.
