A SUCCESSFUL Planting demands of the 
/\ nursery stock you buy, Beauty, Health 
_Z jL and Hardiness. 
Beauty and Health are conspicuous features of 
Framingham Nursery Stock because we exercise 
the greatest care not only in the selection of the 
plants from which we propagate our stock but also 
in the methods of propagation which we employ. 
Because we give attention to root-growth as well 
as top-growth; because we give constant, year- 
round care to all our stock. 
Because we are able to select from our many diff- 
erent soils the sort from which each variety of 
plants acquires the greatest vitality; and because 
we spare no effort to keep our stock free from plant 
diseases and insect pests. 
Hardiness is inherent in Framingham Nursery 
Stock — it is the natural result of our severe north- 
ern climate.
