Emlong’s let nothing stand in their way of produc- 
ing the finest quality for their thousands of customers. 
Although the summer of 1946 growing season proved 
to be the driest in years, with the drought damage running into hundreds of thousands of dollars (as per the reproduction of news 
story above), Emlong’s irrigation system kept all growing fields healthy and thriving throughout their six hundred acres. The 
portable irrigation system with hundreds of feet of pipe and a young army of men to operate and keep in constant service, kept 
pouring thousands of gallons of life giving water into the soil throughout the long dry period. Emlong’s research department is 
constantly on the alert for new ideas to further improve the high standard of quality that has made the Emlong products con- 
sidered outstanding wherever nursery needs are sold. This fact is borne out by the hundreds of letters that Emlong’s receive for orders 
from new customers that have been recommended by thousands of old customers that re-order year after year.
