The war is and for three years has been over — but conditions 
are not even now “normal” as we knew them pre-war. Maybe 
they won't be again — times change and conditions with them. 
Some items are still short — as witness many Lilies this past Fall. 
Nothing is lost by early ordering of all items. Our prices are always 
in line with the market for merchandise of comparable quality — 
make your order subject to your approval of price to be advised 
before shipment if you prefer. While we have endeavored to make 
this catalog as comprehensive as possible — some items may not 
appear which we can supply. We welcome your inquiries on them. 
While we endeavor to maintain prices as listed — that is not al- 
ways possible through the year — sometimes they are advanced 
by growers or manufacturers — occasionally reduced. We shall 
continue to do everything in our power to merit the confidence you 
have placed in us these past fifty-two years — and hope to con- 
tinue in receipt of your good will.
