A SHORTER LIST THIS YEAR 
Several varieties are omitted from the 1936 list because bad 
weather conditions previous years destroyed the young stock. In 1937 
we hope to restore most of the deciduous varieties thus dropped, and 
to add interesting new ones. The shortage caused by the dry seasons 
is now at its peak on fruit trees, is past on the quickly maturing plants 
like berry plants, and is yet to come on the larger evergreens and 
other stock requiring several years to reach marketable age. 
EQUIPMENT. A clay block building 100x100 feet with a large 
double walled, insulated apartment provides room for storing and 
packing deciduous trees and shrubs with a minimum loss of vitality. 
LOCATION. The nursery is on paved Highway No. 11, which 
connects with the Lincoln Highway seventeen miles South at Cedar 
Rapids, and with No. 20, twenty-five miles North, at Inde¬ 
pendence. The office and storage house are just South of C. R. I. 
and P. tracks from the paving. The fruit and nut orchards are one 
and one-half miles South of the nursery on No. 11. 
VISITORS can motor through the nursery when it is dry, on 
well maintained drives. 
BUSINESS HOURS. 7 to 12 A. M. and 1 to 6 P. M. week 
days. Please do not expect digging done on Sundays.
