HALF CENTURY OF LEARNING AND DOING 
Marshalls Niirseries have a complete nxirsery organization with specialists to 
grow, dig and pack out each and every kind of nursery stock, from the hardiest 
trees and shrubs to the most delicate and refined hybrid tea roses, with full 
knowledge of how to handle each class of stock successfully. 
From the beginning- fifty-three years ago - it has been the aim of Marshalls 
to grow the best trees and plants that it is possible to grow. No expense inci¬ 
dental to care, cultivation and handling of nursery stock that will tend to make 
it better, is spared. The most intensive cultivation is practiced throughout the 
season. Moisture is conserved for the growing trees and plants, eind all nursery 
land Is free of weeds at all times. 
’’BUILr* TREES and PLANTS 
The pruning, pinching back, spraying and other operations essential to the 
growth of the best-formed, well-ripened stock is done only by experts, and at 
exactly the right time for best results. Trees and shrubs are not only niirsed, 
but "built" into real individuals. It costs more to grow stock in this way, but 
the stock is better. 
Marshalls men are trained in the complete development of trees from the 
planting of the seed through the processes of budding, grafting, training, etc., 
of the hundreds of varieties, to the orchard and on through the fruiting age. 
Many of our trained men can name any of the more generally planted sorts by 
sight in either nursery or orchard.
