Spring 1947 
Everywhere today the accent is on reconstruction, and we know that we, at Koster Nursery, are not alone in our 
efforts to rebuild our stocks, to repair the ravages of war and to renew contacts with iriends, both old and new. Many of 
you have written to us in the past few months, and’it is of necessity that our replies have been generally negative. Since 
this does not present a true or complete picture of our situation, we thought that it might interest you to know what we 
are doing and of our plans for the future. 
At Koster Nursery there are perhaps unrivaled opportunities for plant propagation. The finest equipment and the 
most skilled men are available, and we are concentrating therefore on the production of first-class lining-out stock of the 
most popular varieties of Evergreens. At the present time we have made nearly 250,000 cuttings of all types of Taxus, 
Junipers, Thujas and Retinosporas, and we hope to follow this with a further batch of the same size. 
We have grafted 36,000 Hybrid Rhododendrons, and everyone who has seen them agrees that we have never grown 
a finer lot. It has been our practice in the past to grow these on into two-year plants, but this season, we have decided 
to offer some of these named Hybrids direct from the cool houses, hardened and ready for planting out. 
Given below is a complete list of all plants we have available now. We have not listed any plants which we shall 
be unable to supply, but in order to avoid disappointment, we do suggest that you write us at once if there is any item 
which interests you. 
We have decided to discontinue dip treatment of balled and burlapped items for shipment outside the Japanese 
Beetle Area. 
Yours very truly, 
KOSTER NURSERY, 
James S. Wells, Manager.
