IMPORTANT TO THE TRADE 
OUR BUSINESS—The Sherwood Nursery Co. are propagators and growers of evergreen 
trees and shrubs, specializing in the production of conifers and broad leaved evergreens. We 
have put into this business the skill and experience of expert nurserymen, and own and operate 
the most efficient propagating plant in the United States devoted exclusively to the propagation 
of evergreens. 
SOIL AND CLIMATE—This skill and experience, coupled with a soil and climate that can¬ 
not be excelled for the growing of plants, has resulted in a product that is sure to please. Our 
soil is just right, free from peat, producing a fine vigorous root system, making a plant that is 
easy to move. The soil and climatic conditions combine in the larger plants to produce a wealth 
and luxuriance of foliage that cannot be surpassed. Most seasons plants can be dug and shipped 
from our nursery every month of the year except July and August. 
QUALITY OF STOCK—The Sherwood Nursery Co. stands back of all stock sold. A con¬ 
stantly increasing list of satisfied customers testifies to the quality of our stock and business 
methods. While no guarantee is given, many of our plants will withstand any reasonable degree 
of cold and all have been tested to a temperature of at least zero weather under certain conditions. 
All stock offered in this list is our own production. 
LOCATION—Our nurseries are located at Portland, Oregon, at the foot of the Cascade 
Mountains, with the snowy peaks of Mt. Hood and St. Helens plainly visible from our office 
windows, and where nature has made conditions favorable for plant production. Favored as we 
are, we can compete in price and quality with plants grown anywhere. Portland is one of the 
leading truck and railroad centers of the Pacific coast, reached by main lines north, east, south, 
and west, with water grade transportation up the Columbia River eastward. Car lots can be 
shipped to the Atlantic coast in 10 days so that there is no danger of loss of plants. 
Visitors are always welcome. If at all possible come and see our stock. It speaks for itself. 
We contract to propagate in our lines. If interested write for prices and particulars, indicating 
your needs.
