Dear Garden Friends: 
For more than half a century we have been developing, selecting, and growing “Washing- 
ton’s Choicest Nursery Stock”. The war years were difficult, but now we are back in full 
stride again, and aim to give our old and new customers the finest service in the Northwest. 
As we give you this catalog, we wish also to express our deep appreciation to you who 
have made the growth of our business possible over the years by purchasing and planting the 
stock we grow. May we say a sincere “Thank you’, and assure you of our continued effort to 
give even better service and offer ever finer products. 
A trained staff in each of our departments is provided to serve you. For your convenience, 
our complete garden service includes—two Nurseries, two Seed Stores, a Landscape Service, 
and Mail Order Department. If you want the best possible results and have questions as to 
suitable varieties, planting, soils, or fertilizers; or have any problems in planning your garden, 
please telephone us or write us. Our mail order customers will receive the same careful atten- 
tion. You will find that we all take a genuine interest in your garden problems. 
It is our aim always to see that you get in Malmo plants and products that added element 
which we call “Malmo Quality”. We guarantee all nursery stock to be carefully grown, true 
to name, true to color, and to be first class stock in every way. 
As all imports from Europe have been cut off for the past six years there have been no 
novelties imported. However, we have been in touch with the finest European sources of 
material during this time, and studying novelties in order to select the finest for you. Last 
Summer, I paid a flying visit to the horticultural centers in England, Holland, and France, and 
selected a quantity of the choicest varieties. These together with the novelty selections of 
this country and our own improvements are being introduced in ‘this catalog, a splendid col- 
lection of new and rare shrubs—a wealth of unusual beauty to make YOUR garden the envy 
of everyone who sees It.
