We again ask our customers to keep in mind that the stock of most — 
nursery items was badly depleted during the war and that a normal 
stock of some items will not be built up for several years yet. 
THIS PRICE LIST gives brief descriptions and cultural notes of 
the main stock available in 1948. Many items or sizes not listed are 
available in very limited quantities. The available supply of evergreens 
in certain sizes and some of the better shrubs listed is very limited and 
cannot be increased so we do not obligate ourselves to supply such 
scarce items after our stock of them has been exhausted. Order your 
_ stock sent as soon as weather conditions will permit. | 
EQUIPMENT. A clay block building 100x100 feet with a large 
double-walled insulated apartment provides room for storing and pack- 
ing deciduous trees and shrubs with a minimum loss of vitality from 
exposure. Modern tools and machines for efficiently digging and hand- 
ling stock are kept ready. 
LOCATION. The nursery is on paved’ Highway No. 150 which con- 
nects with the Lincoln Highway seventeen miles south at Cedar Rapids, 
and with No. 20, twenty-five miles north, at Independence. The office 
and storage house are just south of C.R.I. & P. station grounds and 
-across the tracks from the Highway. The fruit and nut orchards are 
one and one-half miles south of the nursery on No. 150. 
VISITORS can motor through the nursery when it is dry, on wee 
maintained drives. 
BUSINESS HOURS. 7 to 12 A.M. and 1 to 6 P.M. week days. Please 
do not expect digging done after regular hours or on Sundays.
