WE GROW OUR 
OWN STOCK 
We are not jobbers or brokers. We grow all of the Nursery 
Stock offered in this catalog at our nurseries, located near 
Beaumont, Texas, except Roses and a few Fruit Trees, which 
are grown under contract and our supervision. 
The growing of Nursery Stock is a highly specialized busi¬ 
ness requiring an exact knowledge of plants and horticultural 
and scientific methods. After 50 years of successful growing, 
we can without boasting claim to be experts in our line. 
Through costly experiments, we have been able to determine 
the most hardy and suitable varieties for the Southwestern 
territory, and on these varieties, we have concentrated our main 
efforts so that our large 200-acre Nursery may yield an abun¬ 
dance of these plants to meet the ever-increasing demand. 
Airplane view of our more than 200-acre Nursery, growing
