Greetings prom Bobliuk & -Atthins: 
Once again it is our pleasure to present our new Spring cata- 
logue of outstanding newer introductions, as well as a great number 
of your old favorites, all beautiful and useful in enhancing the charm 
of your garden. 
In these restless days of war, threats of war, and political up- 
heaval, more and more thoughtful people are turning to their 
gardens for pleasure and relaxation rather than traveling crowded, 
noisy highways with the many risks entailed. 
What could be more pleasant to garden lovers than to enjoy 
the flowers in the borders and beds, and also be able to cut the 
blooms from early Spring until late Fall for home decoration? 
Here at Bobbink & Atkins, if you live within driving distance, 
you will find it easy to select well-grown plants in a wide variety, 
and take them along with you, or have them shipped if more con- 
venient. 
You will also find here many types not readily available else- 
where in ROSES, AZALEAS, RHODODENDRONS, EVERGREENS, 
PERENNIALS, TREES and SHRUBS. 
Visitors always welcome whether from near or far.
