TO THE TRADE: 
During the past spring and summer growing seasons, 
we have had unusually good growing weather. Moisture 
and temperature conditions have been favorable for the 
maximum growth on our Evergreens, Trees, and Shrubs. 
As a result, we believe we have an exceptionally well 
finished supply of ornamentals. 
As this trade list was prepared in August 1946, we 
had one of the nicest supplies of freshly grown, unbroken 
blocks, of Evergreens in our history. Just before the war 
and the acute labor shortage we planted the best part of 
a new 90 acre tract of land. 
Because of the extremely heavy demand for orna- 
mentals, we urge you to provide for possible shortages 
by making your commitments as promptly and <cscian = 
in advance as possible. It will be unavoidable to be sold 
out of certain sizes and varieties sooner than we would 
like. 
Your orders will receive our prompt and most careful 
attention, in selection of stock, digging, handling and 
grading. Every order receives the PERSONAL attention 
and supervision of at-least one member of our firm. 
Because of the pressure of orders, truck loads to be picked 
up at the nursery must be previously ordered and ready 
by appointment. 
We will welcome your visit to the nursery, whether 
you come to buy or “look around.” We are open from 
7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. except on Saturdays,-when we 
close at noon. 
We offer as references any bank or business house 
in Springfield, Ohio, the Commercial Agencies, and the 
Leading Nurserymen of the United States.
