Union Plant Co. ’s Facilities for Your Needs 
438 Acres of Plant Beds 
Picture to yourself these hundreds of acres 
of plants and you will get an idea of just 
how enormous is the production of this 
huge exclusive plant institution. The soil 
in each section is specially cultivated for 
the particular plant grown in that section 
assuring the sturdiest, most uniform plant 
production possible. 
500,000,000 Plants Annually 
Only an experienced force of plant ex¬ 
perts operating under the most modern 
methods of production could handle the 
staggering number of plants grown and 
shipped by this old reliable firm annually. 
Over 25 persons are engaged in the produc¬ 
tion of Union Plants the year ’round, with 
a force of 500 workers engaged during peak 
periods. 
Experienced Production 
Years of experience have taught us just 
the varieties of seed to plant; scientific ex¬ 
perimentation has taught us special methods 
of cultivation; interested, well-informed 
workers oversee production from the break¬ 
ing of the ground through the final ship¬ 
ment of the plant. 
17000 Sq. Feet Shipping Room 
A huge warehouse, packing plant and 
shipping room are necessary to handle the 
tremendous volume of plants shipped by 
this firm annually. Union maintains an 
ample staff at all times to give you prompt, 
immediate and courteous service on your 
orders regardless of size. 
Care in Packing Plants 
A visit to our packing plant would give 
you a keener appreciation of Union plants. 
The greatest of care is taken in picking, 
with all weak or small plants rejected. 
Triple inspection, uniform size, well de¬ 
veloped roots and hardy growth. They are 
then tied, the roots packed in damp moss 
and wrapped in wax paper to retain fresh¬ 
ness. Scientifically built containers insure 
them reaching you in perfect condition, 
fresh from the field. 
Transportation Facilities 
In selecting Texarkana for a location we 
had in mind not only the ideal soil for our 
requirements but its unusual railway, ex¬ 
press, mail, bus, truck and air transporta¬ 
tion facilities. Shipments from Texarkana 
are routed direct to every section of the 
country in minimum time. 
Naturally you are interested in the price of the plants you buy, but let us urge 
you to consider even more thoroughly the price you pay for the plants you raise. 
On this basis you will find that Union knows no competition anywhere. We do 
not attempt to see how cheap we can raise plants, but we do try to see how good 
we can raise them. We know that if you will consider the cost of your plants on 
the cost of the actual number of plants raised to maturity that we can save you 
money. Our thousands of satisfied customers are our best sales builders.

MEANS TO OUR 
CUSTOMERS 
Eldon, Mo., March 23, 1935. 
Just a few lines to tell you our cabbage and onions were 
fine last year. As you know we had the worst drought we 
ever experienced and they survived until the late rains, then 
came right on and made cabbage and onions. I just don’t 
see how they ever did it. The little onions never had a rain 
till late fall and I had the prettiest green onions one ever saw.
