Plant Now in 1951 
Why plant now? A few minutes reflection will supply the answer. It is now becoming 
apparent to all that the demands of our defense program are going to increase rather 
than lessen in the fereseeable future. As a result the cost of most items in all fields has 
risen or will rise. However, if you will compare the prices of nursery material in this 
catalog with those in the 1950 catalog you will find that we have done our utmost to 
hold them down, despite increased costs to ourselves in many respects. Likewise, the 
future labor situation is most uncertain. Thus far we have managed to keep together 
our organization so that we shall be able to continue to give the same prompt, expert 
and solicitous attention to the wants and desires of our customers for the coming year. 
But no-one can guess as to when greater man-power demands of our government will 
curtail many services. Therefore there is no better time to take care of your landscape 
needs than right now. SPRING, 1951. 
Landscape Department 
Whether the landscape work you are contemplating consists of a foundation planting, 
shrub border, flower garden or the complete development of your property, Bay State 
Nurseries is prepared to take over as much of the work and as many of the problems as 
you desire. Our Landscape Department is composed of Graduate Landscape Architects 
to plan and design your landscaping, and crews of trained foremen and plantsmen 
skilled in handling plant materials. This Department awaits the opportunity to use its 
talents to develop beauty, utility and privacy on your property. 
Budget Your Landscape Work 
Even though at first glance the complete development of your property may seem to be 
more than you care to undertake at one time, a discussion of your needs with one of our 
landscape representatives may show how you can budget both the work and the expense 
over a convenient period of time. In any case, the logic of proceeding from a well-thought- 
out plan is self evident.
