Springfield, Ohic 
March 1, 1941 
To The Trade: 
During the past year many changes have taken place in the nursery 
trade. Supplies have been limited in many varieties and many items have 
been completely eliminated from most catalogues. WE ARE PROUD OF 
THE COMPLETENESS OF OUR LIST OF NURSERY STOCK. 
Although we have had to take out a few in some varieties, we still have 
one of the most complete lines in our history. 
For this season’s business we have made plans to improve still further 
the “HURRY-UP” type of service we have been accustomed to provide. 
Under modern conditions a large portion of nursery stock moves by truck. 
We are prepared to completely load on and send out orders in large trucks 
without delay to our clients or their men and equipment. 
We again promise you that your orders will receive our best effort, 
expended personally, in selection of stock. Your order will receive 
PERSONAL SUPERVISION by a member of this firm, as to digging, 
handling and grading. All stock is fresh dug. 
We offer our record of TWENTY-SIX YEARS EXPERIENCE in 
the wholesale nursery trade as evidence that we know how to please the 
people who buy our products for resale at a profit. 
During all seasons of the year we welcome visits from nurserymen 
and landscapers. We are anxious to meet all members of the industry. 
We will enjoy showing you our nursery. This year particularly, we think 
that we can convince you that during 1940 we were favored with an 
excellent growing season. Our stock will be found well finished out and 
up to full grade. W,e will do our best to please you with quality stock 
at reasonable prices. Whether you come to buy or not, we will enjoy 
your visit. 
We offer as REFERENCES any business house or bank in the city 
of Springfield or any leading nursery firm.
