Foreword 
RICES in this catalog are the same as last season. We 
are making a determined effort to keep them down, 
although many of our production and operating costs 
have advanced. And there has been no sacrifice in quality; we 
have put every effort into raising the best. 
In this booklet are listed many varieties of plants not obtain- 
able at most nurseries. This is especially true of roses. But 
while the quality is good, the supply of many items is limited, and 
we urge you to visit the nursery early this season or mail your 
order now, even though you may prefer delivery at a later date. 
Our half century of growing, testing and offering to the pub- 
lic a wide assortment of ornamental trees and shrubs we believe 
qualifies us to serve our customers well. We have come a long 
way in these fifty years since our founder, P. J. Hjort, started a 
little rose nursery in 1898, and have expanded our production to 
include many varieties of plants. But ours is still not a huge 
business. We are still a small enough firm to regard every 
customer as a friend, and practically every transaction passes 
through the hands of one of the Hjorts, who grew up in the 
business and stayed with it because in it was found more pleasure 
than in any other vocation. 
We wish to thank our friends for their patronage in the past. 
We pledge to old and new customers our best efforts to serve 
them faithfully.
