HOW TO CHOOSE NURSERY STOCK 
It is best to obtain plants from a nearby nursery to insure freshness and adaptability to climate. We 
offer a complete assortment of plant material. 
Also, when purchasing plant material, keep in mind the purpose for which the plants are to be 
used, whether for ornamentation, for windbreaks, for shade, for privacy, or for properly setting off the 
house. Adaptability of plants to your particular location or soil should also be considered. If in doubt 
as to what varieties to use, consult your nurseryman. 
CARE OF NURSERY STOCK 
It is safe to say that 98 per cent of the nursery stock received directly from a reliable nursery that 
fails to grow, or does grow but is always stunted and weak, is due to improper handling after it is re- 
ceived by the customer, or using material unsuited to the soil or location. 
When the stock is received, open the bundle in the shade, out of the wind, and cover. If you are 
not ready to plant immediately, heel the roots in the ground, soaking them well as you do. If well 
heeled in they can be kept without damage for a reasonable time. 
If stock is purchased directly from the nursery it will be in good condition. If planted in fairly good 
soil and given a reasonable amount of care, losses should be very negligible. 
A Message to You 
Due to world-wide conditions causing an acute shortage of paper and rapidly rising labor costs it 
has been necessary for us to reduce the size of our catalog. We are listing herein the items we believe 
will be of most interest and importance to you. 
In spite of the rising cost of labor, materials, and everything that goes into the cost of production 
and distribution, you will notice by comparing current prices that we have keep our prices down to a 
surprisingly low level. 
Why not make this year a bigger and better gardening year, or at least as good as last year. Take 
care of what you have, replace some of your old favorites that may have died last Summer during the 
drought and above all, add a few novelties to your collection. If you do this, many exciting and pleas- 
ant moments are in store for you this coming Spring, Summer and Fall. 
If you are interested in larger or smaller sizes not listed, we often have them available and will give 
prices on application.
