We take this opportunity of thanking those who have so liberally 
patronized us the past year and we are especially thankful to those who 
have so kindly recommended our stock to their friends, and in such cases, 
especially, we feel in honor bound to do our utmost to sustain the recom¬ 
mendations so many of our customers have given us. 
It is not our ambition to do an immense wholesale nursery business, 
but rather to carry on a carefully conducted retail trade, making sure that 
every customer is well served and given full value for his money. 
We employ skilled and experienced help in digging, handling and 
packing our stock, giving it constant personal supervision and every known 
precaution is taken to have all stock true to label and handled and packed 
in such a way as to reach the customer in the best condition. 
To fully satisfy each customer that his interests are carefully con¬ 
sidered when he intrusts his orders here, is our earnest ambition. It is, 
however, necessary more than ever before that orders be placed early. 
Probably never in the history of the nursery business has such a decided 
shortage existed in fruit trees which owing to the difficulty of importing 
seedling stock gives indications of continuing for several years. 
We do, however, have an unusually fine assortment of ornamental 
nursery stock and are prepared more than ever before to take care of 
customers for this class of plants in large or small quantities. 
Our nursery is situated on the Boston & New York State Road also on 
the main line of the N. Y., N. H., & H. R. R., equidistant from New Haven 
and Hartford, which should insure good service in shipping and also ease 
in reaching our place by auto.
