Your 
PLANTING 
GUIDE 
Our Plants 
and Service 
From fifteen acres of rented land planted to Nursery Stock in 1922 the 
Waynesboro Nurseries have grown to three hundred acres planted to more 
than eight hundred varieties of plant material and controlling more than nine 
hundred acres of farm, nursery and orchard — consisting of the largest 
Nursery business in Virginia and one of the largest in the East. 
OUR SERVICE. Through our Landscape Department and Trained Horticul¬ 
turists we are prepared to offer more than plant material. We are prepared 
to give our customers the very best of landscape service and dependable 
horticultural advice. 
YOU SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH. Every variety of plant material has 
some faults as well as merits. Most generally the Nursery catalogue lists 
only the merits, leaving the faults for the planter to discover later. We do not 
feel that a catalogue so edited could be offered as a Planting Guide. Neither 
do we feel that it is fair to either the planter or the subject to give only part. 
So we mean to be honest and frank, mentioning faults as well as merits, that 
you may use your own judgment in selecting varieties best suited for your 
requirements. 
OUR PLANTS ARE HARDY. We are often asked whether or not our plants 
are hardy in States farther North. Our reply is that we are located in the 
western part of Virginia where the altitude is high and the Winter temper¬ 
ature ranges as low as twenty degrees below zero. For the past fifteen years 
we have been selling Nursery Stock throughout the eastern part of the United 
States and in Canada with most satisfactory results. Our trees will grow 
anywhere the same varieties from any other source can be grown. 
WE OFFER NO UNTESTED VARIETIES. Either testing ourselves or ob¬ 
taining our information from a reliable source. We are annually offered hun¬ 
dreds of new varieties which someone considers good. Some are good and 
many are worthless. Hence it is our duty to determine which are worthy of 
passing on to our customers. Outstanding among the new varieties which we 
have adopted is YORKING, an Apple over which we are much enthused. 
Unless our descriptions were accurate and our recommendations could be 
relied upon, our purpose in issuing this book would be defeated. We also 
attempt to be equally as conservative in promising service and results.
