THE CONCOLOR FIR SHOWN ON THE OUTSIDE COVER 
stands on the nursery grounds and visitors often pronounce it the most 
beautiful tree they have ever seen. It is a remnant of the first planting 
on this site in 1908 and is over 30 feet high. When young it was too 
crooked and ill-shaped to be saleable. ‘This is a splendid example of the 
ability of the Concolors to develop a regular form where 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 1942. 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 available supply of ever- 
greens in certain sizes and some of the better shrubs 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. 
EQUIPMENT. A clay block building 100 x 100 feet with a large 
double-walled, insulated apartment provides room for storing and packing 
deciduous trees and shrubs with a minimum loss of vitality from exposure. 
Modern tools and machines for efficiently digging and handling stock 
are kept ready. 
LOCATION. The nursery is on paved Highway No. 150 (formerly 
No. 11), which connects with the Lincoln Highway seventeen miles south 
at Cedar Rapids, and with No. 20, twenty-five miles north, at Independ- 
ence. The office and storage house are just south of C. R. I. & P. sta- 
tion grounds and across the tracks from the Highway. ‘The fruit and 
nut orchards are one and one-half miles south of the nursery on No. 150. 
VISITORS can motor through the nursery when it is dry, on well 
_ maintained drives. 
BUSINESS HOURS. 7 to 12 A.M. and 1 to 6 P.M. week days.
