Dear Friends: 
When you think about planting remember two 
things: — 
1. Just a few shrubs and flowers add much 
to your enjoyment of your home — and 
increase its value many times their small 
cost. 
2. Likewise, a few berry plants and fruit 
trees, even in a small space, will give you 
a plentiful supply of fresh, home-grown 
fruit — and save you many dollars. 
O. A. D. Baldwin 
With this 1953 book we bring you a wide selec- 
tion of fine varieties of ornamental shrubs and 
trees, choice perennials and roses. In berry plants 
and fruit trees you will find our usual good num- 
ber of worthwhile varieties, both old and new. 
As always you can depend on us to carefully 
select and ship what you want when you want 
it, and see that you are satisfied in every way. 
Many thanks for your business, past and future. 
Order early to be sure of getting 
just what you want. 
Sincerely yours.
