Mr. Weldon Miner in one of our two-year shrub blocks, showing the growth obtained in most of 
our better type varieties. Many of these shrubs were propagated from softwood cuttings, which, 
after rooting, were put into pots in frames in order to obtain a heavy root system before transplanting 
to the field. 
We would like to call attention to our listing of shrubs this season, inasmuch 
as we have a quantity of numerous choice varieties that we feel will sell out 
early in the season. We refer to such items as Deutzia gracilis, Euonymus alatus, 
Kolkwitzia amabilis, Hybrid Lilacs and many others. We have had a normal 
erowing year, and it is our belief that demand for flowering ornamentals will 
continue good and that shortages will develop later in the year. 
Our prices are competitive and as low as consistent with the shipment of 
top-quality nursery stock. It is our opinion that prices will remain fairly firm 
for the entire season, since it appears that good ornamentals are in heavy demand 
and the supply is limited. In view of this fact, we earnestly recommend that you 
. 
place your order as soon as convenient to insure getting the stock you need. 
We extend a cordial invitation to all nurserymen to visit our nursery. We 
are always appreciative of the opportunity of showing our stock in the fields as 
well as our warehouses and greenhouses. 
Our main office is nine miles east of Hartford, Conn., near Routes 6, 15 and 44. 
We will meet you at Hartford or Springfield, Mass., if you notify us when and 
where you will arrive.
