N 1848, just 101 years ago this 
spring, Stephen Hoyt, grand- 
father of our present president, 
started in the nursery business 
>@ $ad| On the very site where our Nurs- 
ery stands today. 



In the early years only a few acres 
of trees were grown, propagation consist- 
ing almost entirely of fruit trees, since 
there was little demand for ornamental] 
plants at that time. Later on through 
the years, flowering shrubs, evergreens, 
and an almost complete line of nursery 
stock were added, until we now grow 
nearly all varieties of trees and shrubs 
which thrive best in this locality. 
We sincerely thank our many thou- 
sands of friends for their liberal and ever- 
increasing patronage that has enabled 
this Nursery to grow until we now have 
several hundred acres under cultivation, 
covered with thousands of plants. 
During the past hundred years, we have 
always attempted to grow only the best 
nursery stock. In the future we aim to 
offer still finer plants and better service.
