To Our Customers and Friends.... 
We wish to express our appreciation for your splendid coopera- 
tion in bearing with us during the trying war years. We have 
tried always to give you the best in products and service. No 
doubt, due to scarcity and inefficient labor, in some cases we may 
have failed to comply with our usual high standards of quality 
‘and service. Of course, many of you well know that you have al- 
ways found us ready to correct any mistakes on our part and to 
extend to you our fullest cooperation. Although the labor situa- 
tion has not yet been solved, we, like everyone else, expect to be 
in a better position to serve you in the near future. 
In presenting our 1947 catalog we are offering the best in 
new and popular perennials for your garden, together with a se- 
lected list of roses, bulbs, shrubs, etc. In previous catalog issues, 
we have suggested the planting of perennials in groups of three or 
more of one kind. This year for your benefit as well as ours, MAY 
WE STRONGLY URGE THAT YOUR ORDERS BE PLACED 
FOR THREE, SIX, OR TWELVE OF A VARIETY. First of 
all, you will have a more effective garden display; and secondly, 
the savings in labor, packing, and shipping materials can be 
passed on to you. 

Our Appreciation 
Our special thanks to all of you who have recommended and 
will recommend our products to your friends and _ neighbors. 
We are very grateful. We will continue to do our very best to 
please them as we have pleased you. 
You Are Welcome 
We shall be delighted to have you visit our display grounds 
and nursery which are located on U. S. Route 140, at “Fatr- 
ground Hill,” on the southern edge of Westminster. We are 
only 28 miles from the city of Baltimore and 22 miles from 
historic Gettysburg, Pa 
Your Garden Problem 
We are sure that the two new booklets offered free to our 
customers on the order sheet will be of great help to you. How- 
ever, you may wish advice in selecting varieties for particular 
places in your garden. We shall give your correspondence our 
careful attention. Let us call your attention to the fact that we 
often have many plants which are not listed in this catalog. 
Please Note— 
Guarantee. We guarantee any plant we sell to be true to name 
and to reach you in fresh, healthy condition. On items that prove not 
to be as represented, we will replace or refund the purchase price. 
Terms. Cash or satisfactory reference must accompany all orders 
from parties unknown to us. ORDER EARLY AND SAVE. Special 
5 per cent cash discount on all orders received before March 10. To

receipt of goods. 

Transportation. We prepay transportation charges on orders 
amounting to $3.00 or more, east of the Mississippi on practically all

trees, potted roses, etc., will be shipped either by Parcel Post or Express 
Collect. Orders less than $3.00, add 35 cts. for postage and packing. 
Time of Shipment. Regardless of when your order is received, 
plants will be shipped at the proper planting-time for your locality. 
Some varieties are best transplanted at a certain time of the year, and 
we reserve the right to hold shipment of that part of your order till 
the proper planting season for such varieties included in your order.

name and price of all items wanted. We ship to every state and have received many favorable 
comments on our method of packing and the fine condition in which the plants arrive.
