7# Message from Carroll Gardeus 
P. DONOFRIO, Pres. 

THANKS A MILLION— 
for your tremendous response to our catalogs throughout 1948 
quality perennials, roses, and other products far exceeded our fondest hopes. We thank 
you sincerely. Now that spring is “just around the corner,” we again take pride in pre- 
senting our new 1949 Spring Catalog featuring the finest in perennials, roses, bulbs, etc. 
\ , Te have just completed the busiest year Carroll Gardens has ever had. Your orders for our 
I wish that we had space to print the many testimonial letters which we have recetved com- 
plimenting us on the exceptionally high quality of the bulbs, plants, and roses that we are shipping 
throughout the country. Frankly, it has never been our policy to “‘blow our horn” regarding these 
fme comments. All I can say, however, is that a trial order will convince you. 
I want to thank all of our customers and express my deepest appreciation for the splendid 
support you have given Carroll Gardens in these first ten years. In starting our eleventh year, 
our resolution is always to give you the best that can be produced in plants and bulbs, as well as courteous and efficient service, 
at reasonable prices. If you will notice, throughout our catalog, in spite of rising sky-high prices, the last two years our prices 
have remained practically the same. 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, President
