HISTORY OF OUR BUSINESS 
Peter Bohlender Stayed Home While Gold Miners Rushed West To Calif. 
In 1849, Peter Bohlender, a poor, young immigrant from Bavaria with no formal education, began growing fruit trees 
near Dayton, Ohio. Although he founded Spring Hill Nurseries with the smallest of shoe string beginnings he soon be- 
came recognized as a leader in Horticulture. People found they could depend on his plants. These people told their 
friends and slowly but surely the fame of the nursery spread. 
Today in 1949 we have one of the largest and most modern nurseries, producing over one million plants each yeer 
which are shipped to every state in the union. 
W. F. Bohlender, son and H. N. Kyle, son-in-law, assumed active management for 33 years. In 1929 Tom Kyle com- 
pleted his Horticultural schooling at O.S.U. and entered the business as production manager. In 1937 Tom and Howard 
Kyle, grandsons of the founder, assumed full ownership and monegement. For three generations now, 100 years, the 
frewtee has been continuously operated. Each generation has had a natural love for plants and all grew up werking in 
the fields.
