History of Our 
Business 
Peter Bohlender Stayed at Home 
While Gold Miners Rushed West 
to California. 
In 1849, the same year in which 
gold was discovered in Califor- 
nia, Peter Bohlender started 
working in a nursery near Day- 
ton, Ohio. His natural love of 
trees and plants, his intimate 
knowledge of their proper plant- 
ing and care, led him to the nur- 
sery business. So with the small- 
est of shoestring beginnings he 
launched his career as a nursery- 
SCOCSCC CCS SSS CSO SEZO SF FSO |! 
an. 
The buildings were small and 
the market was restricted to 
fruit trees and a few ornamental 
shrubs. Slowly, but surely, busi- 
ness improved and the nursery expanded. People around the’ 
locality of the nursery found that they could depend on Peter 
Bohlender’s selection of plants. These people told their friends 
and the fame of the little nursery spread. 
Today, in 1947, the small nursery has grown until we ship 
hundreds of thousands of plants from coast to coast each year. 
We attribute our success and growth to our location in the 
heart of the fertile Miami River valley of Central Ohio, where we 
have superlative conditions for the production of the finest plants. 
Because of our buildings and modern methods of operations 
Spring Hill is TODAY able to offer better plants, better service 
and better values for your money.
