OUR POLICIES. Our aims are to produce high-quality, true-to-name plants for your garden, to serve you well 
and give you satisfaction. Because our business is growing, we feel that we are meeting these aims. As to adjust- 
ments (we have very few), we are glad to make them if an_error occurs in filling your orders. It is almost impos- 
sible to avoid them during the short, rushing planting season of a few weeks. 
SALES YARD. Our sales yard is ample. All our perennials are in paper pots and arranged on long tables in 
the order in which they occur in this catalog. This makes it easy to find the plant you want and to check with the 
catalog description if necessary while you are making your selection. 
Each box of plants has a large label and the price marked on it. You can either make your selection quickly 
or you may walk around at your leisure and enjoy selecting those varieties best suited to your garden. Why not 
try some of the newer kinds this season? It will add to your gardening pleasure. 
Our potted roses are set out in groups so that you can easily select the plants you want. Both our perennial 
and rose sections are arranged as much as possible on the self-help plan. 
We have plenty of parking space and a circle drive with separate entrance and exit. From April 15 to June 10 
we are open evenings and all day Sunday. 
We have a small booklet on the right way to plant nursery stock, which is free to those calling at our greenhouse.
