$2.00 plant is 18 to 24 inches tall, well branched and 
bushy—and of course, well worth the difference in 
price. 
Quality, density and condition of the shrub is far 
more important than the actual physical measurement 
in most cases. Plants, like people, may grow upright, 
or spread out and thicken. Therefore, the grading of 
plant material cannot be completely standardized be- 
cause of the varying conditions of growth and methods 
of handling preferred or necessitated by climate, soil 
and other conditions beyond the control of the grower. 
Even in the measurement of height you must allow 
for tall leggy plants, making the measurements to 
where the main growth of the plant begins. Also the 
measurement should be made to where the main part 
of the plant ends and not to the tip of the thin shoot 
in the top. 
In accordance with the advice of the American 
Association of Nurserymen, we have set up standard 
erading for our plants. We have established an aver- 
age for each size of tree, shrub, etc., and we grade ac- 
cording to this average. This insures your getting well- 
grown, healthy nursery stock, and our prices are based 
on quality stock. A poorly grown plant is never a bar- 
gain, no matter how cheaply you may buy it. 
In the photographs that follow we shall try to show 
what we consider standard plants in the various sizes, 
These may be used for the purpose of comparison.
