“Here is a portion of the 200,000 softwood cuttings we root each Summer in our Greenhouses.” 
The C. R. BURR & COMPANY has been a ‘“‘Growing”’ business for over half a century. 
The greater part of our 600 acres are located in the heart of the fertile Connecticut Valley, 
‘celebrated for the fertility of its soil and its bumper crops of many agricultural products. 
We grow a complete line of nursery stock, including Evergreens, Fruit Trees, Roses, Shade 
Trees, Vines and specialize in Flowering and Ornamental Shrubs. In spite of considerable 
dryness, our stock has matured in an exceptional way and we have a better than normal 
inventory of the larger sizes of heavy rooted, well branched shrubs for landscape use. You will 
find that when these plants are cut back and planted, they will produce an immediate effect. 
The list of varieties available is, we believe, an extensive one, including all the tried and true 
varieties as well as the choicer one, such as, Cornus Elegantissima, Deutzia Gracilis, Kolkwitzia, 
Prunus Glandulosa, French Hybrid Lilacs, Viburnum Carlesi, Weigela Variegata, and others. 
We take special pride in the Flowering Crabs we have to offer this year. Averaging 5 to 6 
feet in height and moderately priced, they will not be surpassed in terms of satisfaction by any 
ornamental. Covered with bloom in the spring, they will also display interesting color effects 
late summer and fall with their fruit and colored foliage. 
Our prices are competitive and as low as consistent with the shipment of top quality 
nursery stock. We believe that prices will remain firm since it appears that ornamentals are 
still in heavy demand while the supply, although good, is not in surplus. The construction of 
new homes still continues at a good rate, which is a pretty good barometer of the sales outlook 
for the coming year. 
We are always glad to show visiting nurserymen around our farms and through our ware- 
houses, and hope that as many of you as possible will find an opportunity to visit us. 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.
