THE WAR IS OVER?? 
We promised you last year that when the war was over we 
would try to give you better service. The fighting overseas has 
stopped now and many of our boys are home, but we see little 
indication that either those who were over there or those who 
stayed home are ready to go back to working for a living. Their 
memory is short and they do not remember the mess that the 
grabbing for something-for-nothing got us into the other time. 
So far as we are able we will dig and plant all orders this 
spring. It does not now look as tho we could yet begin to do 
outside work such as trimming or maintenance. We will try to 
work a little harder when we do work, but so long as we can not 
do everything wanted anyhow, I expect that we will occasion- 
ly run off to the hills for a day or so, and spend our evenings 
working on the Green Thumb. 
To save time and paper this spring we are again putting 
out a very abbreviated list of our plants. We are classifying 
them in groups of sizes and kinds and listing them at uniform 
prices. We still have a few plants of almost everything we 
originally grew, but are out of many sizes. Where we have a 
reasonable stock of a very good plant we have called especial 
attention to it. We will have a limited supply of fruit and 
berries. 
Refer to our complete catalog of past years for descriptions 
of plants and planting lists. If you have mislaid your copy ask 
us for another. 
Prices quoted are dug (and delivered if possible.) Where 
we plant an order we charge one third of the cost of the mater- 
ial. This planting charge includes complete guarantee. 
There have been some rumors that we were going out of 
the nursery business. What has happened, is that we have 
dissolved the old incorporation and sold off land to satisfy the 
other stockholders. What is left now we will own personally 
and as soon as labor is available we intend to remodel the whole 
nursery and be able to consentrate on fewer and finer plants. 
You are always welcome to come out to the nursery to look 
over the plants and become acquainted with new ones or pick out 
those you want to plant. We still have many rare and unusual 
things. 
In the following lists we have revised the nomenclature to 
conform to the recommendations given in “STANDARDIZED 
PLANT NAMES.” “Cl.” indicates a clon, propagated by cuttings or 
grafts. “Hv.” indicates a horticultural variety or hybrid.
