OUR FIRST POSTWAR CATALOG | 
We call this our first postwar catalog because this is the first year we have 
had a normal supply of fruit trees and other nursery stock. Propagating 
stock that became available after the war has now been grown to salable 
sizes. Consequently with this larger supply we have been able to cut prices. 
This should be welcome news to everyone with price of other commodi- 
ties rising steadily. We are trying to reverse the trend and have been able 
to do it this year by increased production and greater efficiency. We have 
lowered prices from 10-35% over those of last year. We wish it could be 
more but at least it is a start in the right direction. It must not be con- 
strued that prices have been lowered at the expense of quality. Such 1s 
not the case. We can truthfully say that our stock this year is the best that 
we have had in our 13 year history. Plenty of rainfall during July and 
August, the critical months plus improved methods of culture produced 
top quality plants this year. A few items are still scarce and we suggest 
ordering these early while we have a complete supply.

Gentlemen: 
On April 4th of this year I received 10 of your 3 yr. Cabot Blueberry plants. 
They arrived in excellent condition and thrived well during the season. 
My son had previously ordered 10 plants from another source but I can assure you there is a vast 
difference between the two lots. . 
I desire to add to my plantings next spring and I believe a neighbor of mine is also interested. 
Please quote on 20 or 30 or more plants. 
I was in the printing business with the publisher of a daily paper and a printing concern for 
many years before locating here. I consider your catalog the best of the many I have received. 
Your straightforward explanation on Blueberry planting and details of culture appealed to me 
and I am pleased I selected your firm among many others. 
Please let me hear from you very soon as I am planning ahead for next year and other items in 
_ your catalog interest me. 
Very truly yours, 
PAUL W. MORTIMER
