The True Test of All 
Nursery Products 
What will the trees, shrubs, or plants 
do after being planted about your home? 
Will they start to fill their mission at 
once, or will the initial effect be disap- 
pointing? Will they prove adaptable to 
your soil and climate, or do you have to 
wait until they are acclimated ? In other 
words: — will you get what you buy and 
pay for, or do you pay for wishes, hopes 
and promises, along with some plants? 
On paper, Framingham Nursery Stock 
looks much like any other kind. There 
the resemblance ceases. The resultant 
effect of trees about your home, pond, 
pergola, is the one real test and we stand 
back of the claim that there , Framingham 
products surpass.
