Anniversary 
20 Years of Reliable Service 
In 1900 Willis S. Pino, after several years with a seed house in New York, settled 
in Providence. He opened a seed store at the corner of Washington and Eddy Streets. 
One of his basic purposes was to supply his customers with Reliable Seeds and 
Garden Supplies. It was through his efforts and the confidence his customers placed 
in him that enabled his business to prosper and best serve the community. In 1934 
the store was moved to its present location at 59 Washington Street. 
We are very grateful to our many customers who have placed their confidence 
in us over these many years. It is this confidence in us that makes us strive to supply 
and serve our customers only with the best, and we pledge our continued endeavor 
to serve you faithfully and intelligently in the future.

Shady Nook Grass Mixture 
As it is quite difficult to produce a satisfactory growth 
of grass in shady spots, we have made a special mixture 
for such places. In very shady places sometimes soil will be 
found,to be sour and in this case an application of limestone 
will be quite helpful, using about 50 pounds to each 1000 
square feet. More applications of fertilizer will be needed 
and during dry weather be quite liberal with water.
