Deer Mr. Guernsey:- 
We ere enclosing e copy of our chrysanthemum 
list from fall, 1949, which gives most of the varieties that 
we grow. Those on the second sheet are the newer ones that we 
will huwze this spring. We have ordered others for this spring's 
Gelivery, among them several varieties that we have not had te- 
fore. We also have several seedlings that we have grown for a 
period of two years or longer, which we think desirable, send 
which we shall offer this spring. Should you be interested in 
trying one or two of them we will send you a few rooted cuttings 
of each, at planting time. 
We do not have a ca&talog of all our nursery 
stock, but have a list of roses for spring and fall. These 
ere all standard and patented varieties, which we purchase as 
two-year, No. 1 stock. We do grow a few climbers such as Silver 
Moon from cuttings. We have shrubs, evergreens and some trees, 
both flowering and shade; also fruit plants. Since we are on 
a through highway we do mostly retail, cash-cerry business, 
though we do some landscepe plenting, too, ‘eas most of the nur- 
series here, do. 
If there is any further informetion as to our 
stock that I can give you, please let us know. 
Sincerely yours, 
Shenstone Farm Nursery.
