General Information About 
Laird’s Nurseries 
LAIRD’S NURSERIES was originated in 1938 by David E. Laird, the present owner. 
Since that time the plantings of Ornamental Nursery Stock have expanded to the pres- 
ent size of about 150 acres, with many more acres under cultivation in preparation for 
nursery planting. While this is not spectacular growth, it represents a lot of concen- 
trated effort and cooperation on the part of the entire staff of experienced workers at 
Laird’s. We are proud of our record of supplying high quality nursery stock to the home 
owners in this locality, during this period of expansion. It is the aim of all personnel 
at Lairds Nurseries to continue to maintain this high standard of quality. 

In addition to supplying Choice Nursery Stock, we maintain a complete Landscape 
Department for the guidance of our customers. 
Our landscape men are ready and 
able at all times to help you with any problems pertaining to the landscaping of your 
grounds. 

You have but to telephone or write to avail yourself of this service. 
We, of LAIRD’S NURSERIES, like to see visitors. We shall always try to make 
you feel welcome and serve you satisfactorily when you visit us.
