HISTORY OF 
OUR BUSINESS 
Peter Bohlender Stayed 
Home While Gold Miners 
Rushed to California 
In 1849, Peter Bohlender, a 
poor, young immigrant from 
Bavaria, with no formal edu- 
cation, began growing fruit 
trees near Dayton, Ohio. 
Although he founded Spring 
Hill Nurseries with the 
smallest of shoe string be- 
ginnings he soon became 
recognized as a leader in 
Horticulture. People found 
they could depend on his 
plants. These people told their friends and slowly but surely 
the fame of the nursery spread. 
Today in 1950 we have one of the largest and most modern 
nurseries, producing over one million plants each year which 
are shipped to every state in the union, 
W. F. Bohlender, son, and H. N. Kyle, son-in-law, assumed 
active management for 33 years. In 1929 Tom Kyle completed 
his Horticultural schooling at O. S. U. and entered the busi- 
ness as production manager. In 1937 Tom and Howard Kyle, 
grandsons of the founder, assumed full ownership and manage- 
ment. For three generations or 100 years, the business has 
been continuously operated. Each generation has had a nat- 
ural love for plants and all grew up working in the fields.
