ANOTHER SHORTAGE 
The extremely hot dry summer throughout the country again 
makes a shortage of most nursery stock. 
Growing conditions here were considerable better than in most 
sections, but the loss of young stock was heavy and the growth of 
established stock shortened. 
A few items were damaged beyond recovery and are temporarily 
out of the list. Established plants which did survive, finished the 
season in fine condition, after the copious rains in September. 
EQUIPMENT. A clay block building iooxioo feet with a 
large double walled, insulated apartment provides room for storing 
and packing deciduous trees and shrubs with a minimum loss of 
vitality. 
LOCATION. The nursery is on paved Highway No. n, which 
connects with the Lincoln Highway seventeen miles South at Cedar 
Rapids, and with No. 20, twenty-five miles North, at Independence. 
The office and storage house are just South of C. R. I. & P. station 
and across the tracks from the Highway. The fruit and nut orchards 
are one and on -half miles South of the nursery on No. 11. 
VISITORS can motor through the nursery when it is dry, on 
well maintained drives. 
BUSINESS HOURS. 7 to 12 A. M. and 1 to 6 P. M. week 
days. Please do not expect digging done on Sundays.
