Foreword 
In presenting this, our first illustrated catalog, we have given much care and 
thought to making it as complete as possible. Our nursery which consists of 92 
acres under cultivation, places us in a position to offer the variation of sizes listed in this 
catalog. Bear in mind that you are buying from the source of supply and that any tree, 
plant or shrub you may order will be freshly dug. 
The prices shown are for trees of our selection. These will be fine, full, healthy 
specimens. Should you wish to choose your own, we must, because of increased labor, 
make a small additional charge. 
We maintain a Landscape Department which is always ready to help you with 
your planting problems, whether they be large or small. Experience and knowledge of 
planting materials are necessary if your landscape development is going to present a 
picture of delightful charm. Should you wish to consult one of our landscape experts, 
write or phone us. This will place you under no obligation. 
We wish to extend to you a cordial invitation to visit our nursery and display 
grounds. Here you will find the different varieties of evergreens, shrubs and perennials 
placed in many effective arrangements. These will offer many helpful suggestions for 
your planting problems. 
OUR GARDEN SHOP 
Introducing the newest addition to our already complete nursery. Here you will

Pottery. Take a pleasant ride out to our nursery and inspect the cheery little shop. 
It will be profitable to you.

Our nursery stock has been inspected by the State Nursery Inspectors. A copy of 
the Inspection Certificate accompanies all shipments. All stock is of high quality, 
thrifty, native grown, and is carefully dug and packed. Having no control over the 
stock after it leaves our nursery, we cannot guarantee the life of the stock. We will, 
however, be glad to consider any just complaint which is made within a reasonable time. 
Evergreens of the ornamental sizes are dug with a ball of earth and this ball is 
covered with special burlap which may be left on the trees when they are planted. 
No charge is made for this service. 
If you live within a short distance of the nursery, an order of reasonable size will 
be delivered to you by truck without charge.
