HE items offered in this catalog are objects of 
life that, with a few warm days in spring, burst 
forth in foliage and flower, and throughout the 
season surprise us with gay burdens of brightly colored 
fruit. The catalog is prepared with the purpose of 
helping a prospective customer buy intelligently by 
accurately describing the time of flowering, ultimate 
growth of tree, shrub, or hardy plant. 
Let us help you to buy intelligently by giving you 
our experience regarding any items about which you 
may be in doubt, and if not adapted to your conditions 
or satisfactory for the effects you wish to obtain, we 
will quickly tell you so. Write or bring your questions 
to us. 
You will find within the pages of this book the 
better of the recent introductions, together with the 
best of the old types which have already demonstrated 
their worth. There is nothing listed herein just be- 
cause it is a novelty of perhaps doubtful merit. 
Garden Shop at Lexington, Mass. 
BAY STATE at ^exiyu^lon 
Garden owners in the areas north and west of 
Boston will find our Lexington location a conven- 
ient one. The unusually extensive list of nursery 
stock grown at our nurseries in North Abington is 
available here. Also the Garden Shop will con¬ 
tinue to feature a very complete line of Breck’s 
Seeds and Bulbs, Garden Implements, Fertilizers, 
Accessories and Supplies. 
Since September, 1940, it has been our privilege 
to assume operation of the nurseries at Lexington, 
formerly known as Breck’s Nurseries and more 
recently, as Burbrec Nurseries. 
The combination of Bay State nursery stock and 
Breck’s merchandise at our Lexington location 
creates what we believe to be the most complete 
garden center in New England, at a location free 
from traffic annoyances. 
A warm invitation is extended to visit us— 
frequently.
