If you see me at the conven¬ 
tions, and I haven’t had the 
honor of making your acquaint¬ 
ance, please say “hello” and 
permit me to shake your hand. 
I’m anxious to know all of my 
fellow craftsmen.

LOCATION AND CLIMATIC 
CONDITIONS 
Columbus is situated ninety miles due west of Birm¬ 
ingham, Alabama, as the crow flies. Our nursery is 
located on the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad. 
We have its spur tracks adjacent to our packing and 
loading sheds which provides quick and efficient 
shipping facilities. 
We have cold winters, temperatures often near zero, 
sometimes below. As a result of this our stock re¬ 
mains dormant long enough in spring seasons to en¬ 
able us to serve our northern friends in just as satis¬ 
factory a manner as we can serve those in nearby 
areas. Our elevation is 240 feet, normal rainfall 51 
inches, of which approximately 25 inches fall during 
our summer growing season. 
EQUIPMENT WE ARE 
PROUD OF 
One thousand acres of the finest land in northeast 
Mississippi. Propagating facilities that cannot be ex¬ 
celled. Artesian wells from which mother nature 
pours more water than we can ever use. The nine 
big stacks above no longer belch black smoke, we’re 
now heating with natural gas, no dirt, or dust, no 
coal to haul, or refuse ashes to clean out. 
Huge pumps driven by natural gas engines which de¬ 
liver an unlimited supply of water into the mains of 
every greenhouse at 100 pounds pressure, and 
through Skinner irrigating lines which cover several 
acres of ground and lath sheds.
