PRESS NOTICES. 
“ Great blocks of leading varieties of ornamental trees are to be seen on each side of the road as one approaches the headquarters of the Nursery. 
A pseonia field of several acres was noticed and enormous numbers of shrubs and evergreens, all large and ready for immediate effect. High 
Cultivation is carried out even among the large trees—altogether the place is a model.”— Florist's Exchange , September ip 9 1899. 
“ Each row is cultivated every second week during the growing season, and we did not see a weed to an hundred acres.” 
“ Thousands of visitors go out there to see nature in her best. The walks are fashioned with taste and lined with beautiful Norway Spruce 
for miles. It is a small city in itself. The Peterson Nursery is known as well in Europe as it is in this country, and royal governments have sent 
representatives to Chicago to investigate their methods .”—Chicago Times-Herald, June 20 , 1897.
