PARE ING that sells consistently must be good. Competition, 
labeled “‘the life of trade” or other less complimentary names if 
times are hard, is partly responsible for this fact. Contributing also to the 
public’s greater awareness of plant values is the phenomenal increase in 
nursery and landscape firms since 1945. The old Latin adage, “Let the 
buyer beware,” is being followed by those in search of excellence in plant 
material. 
We have seen wars, booms and depressions, storms, floods, droughts, 
recessions, moratoriums and other less serious situations come and go 
over a period of sixty-seven years. And through them all we have pre- 
served our integrity and have retained our share of customer goodwill. 
Our products have always sold at prices commensurate with their value 
and in line with current trends. Our enviable reputation at home and 
abroad could not have been earned with inferior stock, poor service or 
haphazard selling policies. We are continually reminded that our success 
has been due in great measure to the success our customers have had with 
our plants. 
Tomorrow, with its hopes and fears, minute by minute becomes today 
with its realities. It is that tomorrow that we are planning for with all 
our hearts and with all the imagination we can muster. This new catalogue 
will, we trust, speak eloquently for us. Please keep it at hand and insert 
the yearly Price-Lists as they are issued to bring it up-to-date. 
Thanks again to all of you for your generosity and for your cooperation 
in helping us make our business a bigger and better one with each suc- 
ceeding season.
