the work of eight to ten horses. It does a better job and gets all the 
roots without injury to trees. 

GRAND COULEE DAM. This great development on the Columbia 
River, not far from Wenatchee, is of nation-wide interest and import- 
ance. 
Many C. & O. Globe Locusts—also our new hybrid Pink-Flowered 
Locust, and other trees and shrubs were used to provide quick shade 
and beauty at Mason City and Grand Coulee Dam. They helped to 
quickly transform this great development into one of the West’s beauty 
spots.

Wenatchee (and the C. & O. Nurseries) is situated in nearly the geo- 
graphic center of the State of Washington. Our location is adjacent 
to the great Grand Coulee Dam and the Columbia Basin development. 
Here many advantages are afforded for the production of top-quality 
nursery stock. We have rich volcanic ash soil, a long growing season, 
controlled moisture through irrigation, and excellent shipping facili- 
ties. 
SHIPPING INFORMATION 
SHIPPING SEASON. Our shipping season begins in the fall 
in late October, and continues until late spring. Our frost-proof 
nursery packing house enables us to make shipments during 
fall, winter, or spring at any time conditions in customer’s local- 
ity are favorable for planting. If customers request, we can 
make shipments in mid-winter. 
SHIPPING FACILITIES. Prompt shipment can be made by rail, 
motor freight, express, or parcel post. Unless special routing 
is requested we use our discretion as to best means of shipment. 
INSPECTION. Each shipment is inspected by a Horticultural 
Inspector of the Washington State Department of Horticulture 
before leaving our packing house. A certificate of such inspec- 
tion is attached to each shipment. This rigid inspection is your 
further guarantee and assurance that stock is clean and free 
from insect pests and disease. 
CAREFUL PACKING. Through many years’ experience packing 
and shipping trees, we know how to prepare and pack them to 
reach our customers in good condition. Shipments are sent in 
paper-lined, wooden boxes, or in carefully wrapped and burlap- 
ped bales. Liberal amounts of moist shingle tow, moss, etc., 
are used to protect stock in transit and insure arrival live and 
fresh, ready to grow. 
We grow fine nursery stock—and deliver it in good condi- 
tion for planting.
