Avenue Nurseries 
Painesville, Ohio 
COLD! We will admit, but not so cold at Painesville as West, South 
and East. That is why we can grow such a large assortment; why our trees and 
shrubs come through the winter sound and bright. 
THERE’S A REASON I Look up Painesville on the map. You will 
find it located at the most southern point in the Great Lakes region. This means 
advantage of latitude over other Great Lakes sections, as well as the benefit of 
the influence of the Great Lakes on climate. This accounts for its being five to 
ten degrees colder in other parts of the country within two-hundred or three- 
hundred miles south of the latitude of Painesville. 
STOCK 1 A full assortment, of course, we aim to fill nurserymen’s and 
dealer’s orders complete. This is an advantage that we can offer you. We want 
to especially mention a few things. 
FRUIT 
Pears —Standard and Dwarf. I know of no place where better 
pears are grown. Strong, smooth and sound to the tip. 
Peaches —There may have been as nice blocks of peaches last- 
season as ours, but we failed to see them. Good height* 
and no stung or crotched trees. A good assortment of the 
9-16 ” grade in storage. 
Wilma Peach —A late Elberta. We do not claim to excel in in¬ 
troducing new sorts at high prices, so we are offering this 
variety at little more than price of common sorts. It is 
bearing in the noted island peach section, where growers 
know a good peach when they see it. Other peach sections 
will want the Wilma when they have had a chance to try 
it out. 
G-rapes —We are in the grape belt and grow the same high 
quality of roots that has made this section famous. A 
large stock of Concord grapes to offer. 
Blackberries —Two year, root cutting plants. We have 60000
