Our Half-Century of Experience of Untold 
Value in Improving Stocks 
T HE unusual cold winter of 
1932-33 and the extreme drouth 
of 1934 gave nursery stock the 
most extreme test in our fifty years 
of experience. This has been of un¬ 
told value in proving what stock 
can stand such extreme conditions. 
Any plant that survived such an 
ordeal can be depended on. 
The stock we have now may be 
considered iron clad varieties or 
specimens, and can be planted with 
every assurance that they will do 
well, and not suffer from any 
weather conditions in the future. 
Of course, this applies to plants 
that have been grown dry, and are 
not to be compared with plants 
grown by irrigation, which are 
often soft and sappy. 
We are proud to announce that 
the stock offered in the following 
list is about as handsome and vig¬ 
orous as any we have ever grown. 
We urge our customers whenever 
possible to come to the nursery and 
make their own selection. It is a 
well known fact that certain nur¬ 
serymen on certain soils do grow 
better stock than others and for 
this reason we are anxious for our 
customers to see our stock and 
judge for themselves. 
Not only is Fort Worth a favor¬ 
able place in which to grow stock, 
but it is located in the center of a 
vast territory that can be reached 
easily and quickly. Shipment by 
freight or truck can be made over¬ 
night to most points between Fort 
Worth and Houston or San An¬ 
tonio on the south; Shreveport on 
the east, most of Oklahoma points 
on the north; and Amarillo, Mid¬ 
land and San Angelo on the west. 
We have plenty of large trucks and 
can make quick delivery. This is 
usually the best way to handle 
stock to points within 400 miles of 
Fort Worth. 
Desirable Sizes. While we, in 
common with nearly all nursery¬ 
men, have lots of overgrown stock, 
we also have plenty of the smaller 
and medium grades which are quite 
scarce this season, for the reason 
that many nurserymen did very 
little planting of young stock dur¬ 
ing the last four years. We kept 
up our planting during this period, 
and now have plenty of fresh, 
young vigorous plants, which are 
vastly superior to much of the old, 
starved and overgrown plants that 
may be found in some places. 
Landscape Service. We are pre¬ 
pared to furnish plans and super¬ 
vision on landscape service where 
desired.
