LOCATION. 
The Nurseries, to which visitors are always welcome, are situated about 
a mile and a half to the south of the village of Bar Harbor, on the Schooner 
Head Road or Ocean Drive. 
Bar Harbor itself can be reached by regular steamers from Boston and 
Portland, and also by New York and Philadelphia steamers connecting with 
these, as well as by the all-rail route over the Maine Central Road. 
Situated in 44 0 25' north latitude, with a temperature that ranges from 
96° above to 20° below zero and upon a sea coast where the ground is 
often bare of snow during portions of the winter, the climate and exposure 
to which our stock is subjected renders it unusally hardy, while our location 
is one of great advantage for the growing of seedlings, owing to its prox¬ 
imity to the water, with the cooler nights and moister atmosphere this brings 
as well as to its excessive rainfall, which is shown by recent Weather Bureau 
statistics to be greater than that of any other station in the Atlantic States. 
Many of the trees and shrubs here, also, are noted for their coloring and 
distinct forms, which they retain when planted elsewhere, and with few 
exceptions the seeds from which o.ur seedlings have been grown have been 
collected here, and by ourselves, from specially selected trees and shrubs.
