We Appreciate | 
The understanding and consideration shown us last spring. Not only were your 
orders of generous proportions, but your understanding of the difficulties under 
which we are operating due to the war, and consequent shortage of man-power, 
displayed a tactful considération which we deeply appreciate. 





































In an effort to save both your time and ours, each order for bulbs or Roses, 
when filled, is accompanied by simple planting instructions. This, in addition 
to the information contained in the catalog, gives you full and complete 
knowledge of our plants and tells you all you need ever know about them in 
order to obtain the maximum rewards in beauty. Thus have we tried to antici- 
pate the questions which might naturally arise in your mind at the time your 
order is placed. 
We deeply appreciate your indulgence and patience, and ask that you con- 
tinue to bear in mind these few thoughts: (1) Nursery products are always 
ordered in advance. (2) Simple planting instructions accompany each order. 
(3) We ship promptly at planting time.
