Dear Friends: 
Through the years of war, gardens and flowers have helped us maintain health 
and faith and courage. Now that war has ceased, your gardens become expressions 
of joy, peace, and thankfulness. 
Many of you have enjoyed the wildflowers that greet the spring and the ferns 
that fill the shaded locations with grace- 
ful beauty. They are an ideal background 
for flowers that bloom in shade. In 
addition to the flowers and ferns we have 
been listing, more varieties are being 
offered this year. 
Now that more help is available for 
this season, definite plans are underway 
to build up agam our herbaceous per- 
ennial and rock-garden list, meluding 
the newer and best standard varieties. 
With the volume of business you are 
sending us, we appreciate your early 
orders. Every order will be promptly 
acknowledged and will receive careful 
attention. Shipments will be made on or 
. near the specified date for orders booked 
MERTENSIA virginica early and as promptly as possible for

place orders well in advance if possible, so that the packing and shipping may 
be more evenly distributed. 
Orders will be sent by Parcel Post unless the size of the package makes
