TRANSPORTATION 
In the present transportation crisis it is well to analyze the true 
situation. Owing’ to the shipments of food and munitions to Europe, 
the amount of goods to be transported over the railroads has increased 
by more than 50 per cent. 
But please bear in mind that this increase is almost entirely in 
an easterly direction. About 75 per cent of the total shipping at the 
present time is toward the Atlantic seaports. Traffic in the westerly 
direction has increased very slightly if at all. 
For the above reasons it is difficult to ship into New England, 
but very easy to ship from New England in a westerly direction. 
Moreover, by combining orders going to any given locality and mak¬ 
ing full carload shipments, we can assure our customers of very 
prompt delivery to points outside New England. 
Don’t let transportation conditions keep you from ordering your 
share of Framingham Quality Nursery Stock. Give us the business 
and leave the delivery to us. 
Owing to our location at one of the best shipping centers in New 
England, we can assure our customers in New England of prompt 
delivery. We are prepared to ship nursery stock by Motor Truck to 
distances of one hundred miles—and even longer. 
The cost of this delivery will be less than less-carload freight 
rates, for stock shipped by motor truck does not require packing— 
hence no packing charges. 
We repeat—give us the business and you may be sure we will 
look out for the prompt delivery of your orders.
