Our Customers About 
Greening N ur sery Product s 
As to integrity—an old Persian Proverb says: 
“•My son, the priceless ingredient of every product in 
the market is the honorable integrity of him who 
makes it—that quality stands for true worth. Con¬ 
sider well his name before you buy." 
No line of human endeavor carries more of a trust of 
honor than does the nursery business—and knowing 
that trust—for eighty-eight years—Greening’s Nurseries 
have been mixing into their products "that priceless 
ingredient." We have labored unceasingly to make the 
name Greening mean much in its application to Nur- 
sery Products. 
By close intimacy with the simple laws that govern an 
honest effort to serve as we would be served, we con¬ 
stantly strive to merit the continued patronage of our 
friends and customers. 
Eighty-eight years is a long time in the span of Amer¬ 
ican business life, and it is unusual for the ideals and 
pioneer sincerity of purpose to have been carried on for 
more than three quarters of a century, by one family. 
Greening Research 
Ever alert to the trust reposed in us, Greening research 
is conducted by experts—under a merciless system of 
observation—record—and selection. 
It is our unwavering practice to eliminate that 
which may prove below the exacting standards 
that we have fixed for Greening Merchandise. 
To the vast field of new varieties and so-called novelties, 
we hold a tolerant but critical attitude. All are given 
fair trial, but it is the invariable Greening practice to 
hold fast only to those that have outstanding merit. 
You may purchase Greening Nursery products with the 
full confidence that Greenings have long ago instituted 
knowledge for uncertainty, and that Greening Nursery 
Products are the result of years of knowing definitely 
what to do, and consistently doing it.
