Suitable soil and good equipment are the prime es- 
sentials in the production and delivery to you, of 
thrifty, well-rooted, well-matured, vigorous trees and 
plants. Particular types of soil for different types of 
nursery stock are very important to the proper growth 
and root development—also the storing up of plant food 
in the tissues to give quick and vigorous growth in the 
spring. 
Our upland soils are not excelled anywhere for nurs- 
ery products. They stimulate ample firm growth but 
not rank over-growth. These soils are rich enough and 
hold sufficient moisture so that root-systems are com- 
pact and finely branched close to the trees and plants. 
On coarser soils, where the moisture content is more 
variable, roots go deeper and reach farther out for an 
assured moisture supply and a greater percentage of 
the roots are left in the ground in digging. You get 
more roots with Marshalls trees. . 
Our large specially constructed nursery buildings give ample 
space with ideal conditions of temperatures and air humidity 
(damp cellar conditions), to sort, and hold for a considerable 
time, trees and plants with no deterioration whatever. All trees 
and plants are brought to this building immediately after being

lifted and are not at any time exposed to drying conditions. 
Trees must be handled right as well as grown right. 
“We have a complete and ample supply of special tree plows 
which get the maximum amount of roots, the best tree baling 
machines and other equipment which perfect and expedite the 
handling and packing out of your trees and plants. 
In fact, we can say frankly and sincerely that we feel that we 
have lands and equipment not excelled for the production and 
handling of nursery stock, anywhere in the country. 
No. 1...500 GROWING ACRE 
Our main nurseries, comprising almost 500 acres, are located 
east of Arlington on the high divide between the Elkhorn and 
Missouri rivers. The soil is the famous “Loess,” which is recog- 
nized by nurserymen and orchardists, and recommended by .geol- 
cgists, as particularly adapted for root development. Trees and 
plants grown on this soil have more fibrous roots which makes 
transplanting more successful. The wood growth is also firmer 
and more mature than that of stock grown on rich valley soils. 
The root system is a really important part of every tree and 
plant. Marshalls trees have better roots. 
ARLINGTON, 
NEBRASKA. 
Our perennials and small plants are grown on a tract of about 
10 acres of valley ground. Our propagating beds and frames are 
also located here. This soil, contains some sand and is ideal for 
juvenile trees and plants.
