FOREWORD 
As this year has progressed, it has become evident 
that the post war reconstruction period will take longer — 
than had been expected. In the Nursery business, many 
types of stock are very scarce and it appears that the 
demand will continue strong for many years. The “re- 
tooling” of the nursery industry to supply the post war 
demand is still far from accomplished. Here at Prince- 
ton we are fortunate in having been able to produce a 
balanced line of nursery stock, especially in the smaller 
lining-out sizes. We believe that we will be able to 
supply our customers with the finest quality young 
stock suitable for immediate resale or growing on to 
' jarger sizes. 
Our equipment and pulidings are in excellent repair, 
and we have made important advances in the technique 
of handling large quantites of stock quickly and effi- 
ciently. This has enabled us to maintain our standard 
of high quality at moderate prices in spite of sharply 
rising costs. Our modern mechanical equipment has 
proved that it not only speeds digging and deliveries 
but also gets the material to the consumer in better 
condition by reducing exposure in the field. 
The organization is once again back to normal since 
many of our experienced men who were either in the 
service or war work are now back with us. Our field 
labor supply is adequate to handle a large volume of 
orders this Fall with care and dispatch. Since the de- 
mand for certain types of material is far above the 
supply, we urge you to place your orders in good time 
before our stock is depleted. 
Better labor and a favorable season have enabled our 
propagating departments to produce large quantites of 
all the types of nursery stock we handle, and we are 
in a positon to grow stock for delivery a year or so 
hence on request. 
There have been many changes and improvements on 
the Nursery. We are continuing in our program of — 
replacing blocks of large size specimens with young 
thrifty stock which our customers can handle with a © 
minimum of risk and expensive labor. 
_ We cordially invite our old customers and new 
_ friends to call and inspect the Nursery. We thank you 
for your past patronage and solicit future orders.
