THE 1937 GROWING SEASON 
The past growing season was one of the best ever known here for 
nursery stock and it would be plentiful if so much of the plantings of 
1936 and earlier had not been killed by the drought during those years. 
As it is there is a brisk demand and a limited supply. More than ever 
it will be a question of who will get the available stock of many items. 
We advise not only early orders but also early shipping dates,—as early 
as weather conditions here will permit. 
EQUIPMENT. A clay block building 100 x 100 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. 11, 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 one- 
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.
