REPORT TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
Our fourth birthday occurs on June 17th, 1950. We are 
happy at the progress made so far with the help and interest of 
all of you. Although demand still exceeds supply on some things, 
we feel that this year we have a fairly comprehensive stock of 
perennials to offer. It has taken 3 1/2 years to gather this together 
and with time we can still improve. Almost everything we do have 
has been grown here for some time and has done well or been 
discarded. 
Again we want to mention that without the help and loyalty 
of the men who work with us, we could not achieve what we have. 
Mr. Pancho Directo is still with us working at top speed as he 
always does. Many of you will miss Mr. Byron Farrington, who left 
January first ta start a nursery of his own. Best of luck to him. 
We are proud to announce that we now have a fairly com- 
plete stock planting. We have put a great deal of thought and effort 
into this for we feel that it is an invaluable aid to you (and, of 
course, to us) to be able to observe mature specimens of most 
plants we list for size, habit, color and time of bloom. We call 
this specimen planting our catalogue supplement, but we cannot 
mail it to you, so we hope that you will come often through the 
year to see these plants. 
Our hours are from 8:30 to 12 noon and | to 5 P. M. daily 
except Mondays and legal holidays. In December and January, we 
will be closed both Sundays and Mondays.
