To Customer Friends Both Old and New 
This is the seventy-fifth year this nursery has offered its wares to the 
public and it is a pleasure to again greet our many friends with a list 
of desirable and proven plant material. Some things are very short, 
some not available, but in general we can offer you wide selection 



in both variety and price range. We note quite a few catalogs make no 
reference to size of plant they are offering you, but virtually without 
exception our list gives the grade and its price. Our fruit and berry 
list is extensive but orders should be placed early as the supply is limited. 
Again we extend our greetings and hope for continued pleasant relations. 
Faithfully yours,
