THE TREE SHOWN ON THE OUTSIDE COVER is the 
large Concolor Fir so much admired by all visitors to the nursery grounds, 
and often pronounced by them to be the most beautiful tree they have 
ever seen. ‘This is a remnant of the first tree planting on this site in 
1908. It is now over 30 feet. high and very symmetrical although it © 
could not be sold when young because it was too crooked and ill-shaped. | 
This shows the remarkable ability of the Concolor to develop a regular 
form when given room to do so. No other evergreen retains its lower 
branches and beautiful outline better as it grows old. 
THIS PRICE LIST also gives brief descriptions and cultural notes 
of the main stock available for 1941. Many items can be supplied in 
quantities too limited to list and will be quoted on request, if the par- 
ticular line of stock wanted is indicated. “The supply of evergreens and 
many of the better kinds of shrubs available for spring is very limited 
and cannot be increased so we do not obligate ourselves to supply such 
scarce items after our stock of them has been exhausted. Order your 
stock sent as soon as weather conditions will permit.
