The JljvDO'Rgfl WrT”

When we consider that one of the biggest 
costs in the production of nursery stock is for 
the trained labor that goes into the various 
operations necessary in growing small plants 
to large salable sizes, for instance the care¬ 
ful training, hand-pruning and frequently 
transplanting, — then it must be clear that the 
intrinsic worth of nursery stock is dependent 
directly on the amount of labor which has 
been intelligently expended on it. 
“The Andorra Way ” of planting wide 
apart, frequently and carefully transplanting 
and training produces not only a fine top, but 
a vigorous compact system of fine fibrous 
roots which better enables a plant to with¬ 
stand the shock of transplanting. 
Therefore we are confident that discerning 
buyers in any comparison of our stock with 
others’ will take into account what they are 
getting in the way of general thrift and fine 
root systems together with handsome well- 
developed tops. The common practice of 
listing nursery stock merely by height gives 
no real measure of whether the stock was 
grown closely together and never transplanted 
or whether it was grown
