PLANTING 
GUIDE 
Our Plants 
and Service 
FROM A humble start in 1922 on a small acreage of rented land we have 
grown and expanded until we now have under cultivation 500 acres of the 
best adapted and best kept Nursery land in Virginia. We are growing more 
than 800 varieties of plant material, assembled from various parts of the world. 
OUR SERVICE extends further than growing and selling plants. We not 
only assemble the better varieties from all over the world, but are continually 
searching for and testing newer and better varieties—passing on to our 
customers the benefit of our findings. The average planter has neither the 
time nor can afford the expense of obtaining and testing all new varieties. So 
we feel it our duty and make it our pleasure to furnish our customers this 
service. 
YOU SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH. Every variety of plant material has 
some faults as well as merits. Most generally the Nursery catalogue lists 
only the merits, leaving the faults for the planter to discover later. We do 
not feel that a catalogue so edited could be offered as a Planting Guide. 
Neither do we feel that it is fair to either the planter or the subject to give 
only part. So we mean to be honest and frank, mentioning faults as well as 
merits, that you may use your own judgment in selecting varieties best 
suited for your requirements. 
WE OFFER NO UNTESTED VARIETIES. Either testing ourselves or 
obtaining our information from a reliable source. We are annually offered 
hundreds of new varieties which someone considers good. Some are good 
and many are worthless. Hence it is our duty to determine which are worthy 
of passing on to our customers. Outstanding among the new varieties which 
we have adopted is YORKING, an Apple over which we are much enthused. 
Unless our descriptions were accurate and our recommendations could be 
relied upon, our purpose in issuing this book would be defeated. We also 
attempt to be equally as conservative in promising service and results.
