Christmas Greetings 
To American Nurserymen 
E=1C=] 
Now, at the close of a busy year, and when 
you are planning for a still better year in 
1917, we send you our holiday greetings. 
We also wish to thank you for the increase 
in our business, for it has been so good that 
we expect to have but very little surplus left 
at the close of the spring season, so you had 
better get busy now and place your order for 
trees, shrubs, roses, evergreens and bulbs. 
Our New York office will give your orders 
prompt attention.
