NURSERIES 

Introduction — 
[@EO|N 1848, just 102 years ago this 
ay) spring, Stephen Hoyt, grand- 
father of our present president, 
started in the nursery business 
G9 §aJ| on the very site where our Nurs- 
ery stands today. 






In the early years only a few acres 
of trees were grown; propagation con- 
sisted almost entirely of fruit’ trees, 
since there was little demand for orna- 
mental 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.
