Introductory 
HE Linville Nurseries, at Linville, N. C. (on the Black Bear Trail 
^J ]/ from Canada to Florida, U. S. Route 221), were established in 
1929, and are ideally located on the slope of Grandfather Mountain 
at an elevation of 4,500 feet above sea-level; and upon the 16,000-acre 
tract owned by the Linville Improvement Company. 
We specialize in native plants as are described in this folder. The loca¬ 
tions from which these plants will be collected and grown, being amid the 
peaks of the Blue Ridge, one of the oldest mountain ranges of the world, 
give us the opportunity to offer plants of unusual vigor and hardiness. 
Louis A. Berckmans and P. J. A. Berckmans, who for many years were 
members of the firm of the P. J. Berckmans Company Nurseries (estab¬ 
lished in 1856) at Augusta, Ga., are associated with us in the management 
of the Nursery and will give their personal attention to its affairs; further¬ 
more, we have experienced and capable assistants; therefore we are in a 
posittion to give our clients most efficient and satisfactory service.
