AN IDEAL 
For 65 Years 
To the memory of Aaron Miller, Founder 
and first President, and Samuel A. Miller, 
President and General Manager of the Mil- 
ton Nursery Company, this 65th annual 
catalog is affectionately dedicated. 

Samuel A. Miller 
Aaron Miller 
In the year 1878, A. Miller started a small nursery at Milton, Oregon. Modest at first, but favored by climate, soil, 
and a demand for fruit trees in his new country, it rapidly grew into larger proportions necessitating the help of his 
oldest son, S. A. Miller, who in 1896 took the active management. This continued growth called for the assistance of 
two other sons, G. W. Miller and C. B. Miller. Until 1908 the business was known as A. Miller & Sons, at which time 
the firm, with the same ownership, was incorporated as Milton Nursery Co. The personnel of the company remained in- 
tact until the decease of the founder, A. Miller, in 1925, at the ripe age of 95 years and 6 months, and Mr. S. A. Miller 
in 1932. Under the experienced management of the two remaining sons and C. D. Hobbs, an associate since 1904, the 
business continues as before with a steady effort to better the product wherever possible. Owning and operating over 
three hundred and twenty-five acres, perfectly adapted to the production of quality nursery stock, gives us the well earned 
distinction of being the largest and one of the oldest nurseries operating in the Pacific Northwest. 
For the patronage of over three-score years we are grateful, and we hope to merit the confidence of our many friends 
for the years yet to come.

fill the order as completely as possible and refund balance

Rule. Divide 43,560 (the number of square feet in an 
acre) by the number of square feet for each plant. The 
result is the number required for an acre. Example: Trees 
planted 20 feet apart each way equals 400 square feet; 
43,560 divided by 400 equals number of trees per acre. 
If trees are planted on the Triangular system, 15 per 
cent more than for the Square system will be required.
