ARLINGTON, NEB. 
This building contains 25,000 square 
feet of floor space. It is constructed of 
brick and tile (double walls) 18 inches 
thick. The roof is also insulated against 
heat and cold, like a refrigerator. It 
provides unexcelled conditions for hand- 
ling and packing out of nursery stock. 
Changes of temperature are very slow 
and with the moist, cool cellar atmos- 
phere which prevails, there is no chance 
for stock to dry out or be injured in any 
way, from the time it is dug until it is 
delivered.

ORNAMENTAL OMAHA, 
No. 2 ae 25 ACR GARDENS NEBRASKA 
Our Omaha nursery, established in 1930 has been developed, 
mainly to have accessable to the Omaha trade, large sizes of or- 
namental and shade trees, evergreens, shrubs and perennial 
plants. City planters often want large trees and shrubs for im- 
mediate effect and here is located a wide variety of carefully 
trained deciduous trees up to 8-9 inches in body diameter. A 
complete line of evergreen trees in all sizes are grown here, but 
the aim is to have the larger sizes up to 15 to 20 feet available 
close to the users of such stock. 
The large sizes, not only of evergreens, but of shade, orna- 
mental and street trees and shrubs are dug and moved with balls 
of earth. Special equipment for handling balled trees weighing 
two tons or more is required.

DENVER, 
No. 3..LANDSCAPE NURSERIES cotonaso 
Our Denver nurseries at present contain mainly ornamental 
evergreens for which the soil and climate there is especially 
adapted. Certain deciduous trees and shrubs can also be pro- 
duced to advantage and our plans contemplate taking full ad- 
vantage of such favorable factors in enlarging our growing op- 
erations in the Denver nurseries. 
This nursery will also be headquarters for testing and develop- 
ing the many fine native trees, shrubs and plants of the foothills 
and mountains. Our many years practice of scouting the east 
slope of the Rocky Mountains for better individual trees from 
which to propagate, will be intensified. 
Trees and plants which develop better under Denver condi- 
tions will be grown there for our Arlington and Omaha Plants.
