Thank Gout 
We wish to pay a tribute to our customers, old and new, for the under- 
standing and consideration shown us last spring. Not only were your orders 
of generous proportions, but your understanding of the difficulties under which 
we are operating due to the rearmament program, and consequent shortage 
of man-power, displayed a tactful consideration which we deeply appreciate.

1954 Will Be Another Difficult Year for Every Nurseryman 
March, April and May always are three months of great pressure for nursery- 
men. Not only must orders be shipped on time but hundreds of thousands of 
young plants must be put out into the fields in only twelve short weeks. A 
tremendous job at any time! In 1954 with many of our young men in the Army 
or Navy, much of the work must be done by women and those of us who are 
left. Because of these circumstances we are asking you a special favor. 
Send us your order as soon as you have made your selection. Do not delay 
mailing it to us! Much preliminary work must be done before the actual ship- 
ping of plants is possible. Carefully state the earliest possible date you can do 
your planting, it will help us in shipping. Do your planting early. It will help 
you even more than it will help us. The earlier plants, shrubs or Roses are set 
out in the spring, the better results and finer flowers you will have.

Dear Sir: 
It was a pleasure to be brought up to date by the article in the Sep- 
tember 1951 issue of Fortune magazine, relative to the progress of 
Wayside Gardens. 
ha As an old customer, who was served a generation ago by your com- 
ea pany, it is heartening to know that your policies have resulted so suc- 
%\ cessfully over the years. 
\ My purchases, while not large in amount, nor frequent, were always 
satisfactory, and gave us an excellent start towards getting our small 
4 garden started. 
ry I have had a lasting remembrance of your early catalogs, received many 
; years ago, and the informative descriptive data which they contained and 
conveyed to those like myself, who hardly knew the difference between 
‘\ a Daisy and a Daffodil. 
With best wishes for many years of success. 
Respectfully, 
Daniel F, Moynihan
