Fifty-four Years in the Same Location 
ANOTHER planting season brings us an opportunity again to greet our friends 
/"A and customers, and to present this, our Fifty-fourth Anniversary “Planter’s 
Guide for the Southland.’’ It is not necessary for us to say that we appreciate 
your business. We hope our friendliness, our service, our courteousness, and the 
quality of our nursery stock all combine to show our appreciation more than any 
words we might set down here. 
We are proud of our fifty-four years as nurserymen ser\ ing the entire Southland. 
We like to think of the thousands of customers for whom we have grown hundreds of 
thousands of trees and plants during all those years. But you, as planters of nursery 
stock, are interested in those fifty-four years only as they show our experience and 
our ability to serve you NOW. You are interested in our past only as it assures you 
that we can furnish you the best nursery stock now. 
The rainfall has been plentiful this season and the weather hot. The grass has 
grown fast and well, but so has the nursery stock. It has kept us hustling to keep 
ahead of the grass, but, with it all, we’ve had a fine gro\^ing season. The stock we 
are offering is first class in every respect. We are proud to offer it under the slogan 
“Wight-grown means grown right.’’ 
Plant early is still good advice. Early plantings grow off best in the spring. While 
stocks are complete is the best chance to get ideal selections of trees. Order early and 
see how pleased you will be. 
Sincerely yours,
