older and larger nurseries of the state, though 
age and size are in no way indicative of integrity

available for its customers and clients every sort 
of plant suitable for Wisconsin conditions. Not

hardy plants, but also maintains a greenhouse and 
floral business, thus giving to this area as com-

the nursery was moved to Hartland where it is 
located on Highways 16 and 19 on the west city’ 
limits. Here, on 80 acres, the White Elm Nursery 
Co. now operates. .
