P. DONOFRIO, Pres. 
T IS with great pleasure and pride that we offer our 10th Anniversary Spring 1948 Catalog, 
presenting one of America’s finest collections of Perennials, Roses, Bulbs, etc. I personally 
would like to have every one of you participate in celebrating our 10th Anniversary and 
take advantage of the 10% discount offered you throughout the year 1948. It will give me great 
satisfaction to know that you celebrated with us and procured some of the finest plants at great 
savings. 
May I also call your attention to the many new perennials offered for the first time in this 
catalog? In previous catalogs 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, 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 
I want to thank our customers and express my deepest appreciation for the splendid support 
you have given Carroll Gardens in these our first ten years. We will continue to give you the best in both products and 
service. Should you at any time receive anything from us that is not satisfactory, please let us hear from you. Remember 
that we are not satisfied unless you are. 
Yours for better gardening, 
P. DONOFRIO, Pres.
