ACCENT ON SPRING 
1945 | 
Never for an instant forgetting that a war—a terrifically big 
war—is still to be won, the American mind, future-cast, toys 
with a vivid theme of reconversion. We have fought and are 
fighting to uphold ahd defend precious privileges that are paid 
for in suffering, tears, and sacrifice. A stiff price—but the stuff 
of which peace and freedom are molded. 
Yet another reconversion goes on, year after year, regard- 
less of war or peace. It is the reconversion to Spring and 
growing things after the sterile cycle of Winter has completed 
itself. The miraculous rebirth holds subtle, silent promise of a 
newly awakened world—an innate sense of peace and well- 
being that comes of beholding the breath-snatching beauty of 
a hawthorn in bloom, its white petals a benison soon to be laid 
on the ground... the brilliant effectiveness of red maple... 
of tall, statuesque elms .. . the aristocratic perfection of-taxus 
and spruce. 
Such beauty is so easily yours for the taking. This close 
association with the soil is stimulating, invigorating; its rewards 
profuse. Home life is now stressed as never before, and your 
garden is essentially an important part of, this life. 
Home and the serenity of its surroundings are, to the 
fighting men, memory flames that burn brightly through the 
dark hours of conflict. Therefore, you here will resolve to pre- 
serve and cultivate the beauty of that home and garden—so 
they will realize their dreams. 
Let us assist you with your gardening problems. Let. us 
help you put the ... ACCENT ON SPRING.
