  The 
  Delmarva 
  Peninsula 
  is 
  fast 
  becoming 
  known 
  as 
  

   the 
  greatest 
  nursery 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  East 
  because 
  of 
  its 
  

   very 
  favorable 
  climatic 
  .-on. 
  lit 
  ions 
  and 
  varied 
  soils. 
  We 
  

   often 
  have 
  temperatures 
  ranging 
  down 
  to 
  1(1 
  degrees 
  be- 
  

   low 
  zero 
  during 
  the

  and 
  our

  starts 
  

   in 
  early 
  October 
  to 
  properly 
  cure 
  out 
  our 
  growing 
  

   stock; 
  our 
  killing 
  frost 
  usually 
  coming 
  the 
  last 
  week 
  in 
  

   October 
  or 
  the 
  first 
  week 
  in 
  November. 
  Statistics 
  

   show 
  we 
  have 
  an 
  average
