THE 1938 GROWING SEASON 
The spring and summer of 1938 were near ideal for growing nursery 
stock. Grades are heavy and stock more full of pep than for a long time. 
1939 should be the best season for transplanting in several years. The de¬ 
mand for stock is strong and the rarer varieties should be ordered early to 
avoid disappointment. 
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 grounds 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 after regular hours or on Sundays.
