We Grow Our Own - 
C. R. BURR AND COMPANY is one of the oldest nurseries attractively root-wrapping Roses, Flowering Shrubs, 
Ornamentals and many other types of plants. We are one of the largest growers in the East, providing a wide line 
of wrapped material in various price groups so that the retail nurseryman and dealer can present a well-balanced 
offering to the trade. All packages contain moist Floravate to maintain proper moisture for the roots of the plants. 
This material has a high degree of moisture absorption and retention, which permits a longer sales period without 
serious dehydration of the package. 
The Burr Nurseries have grown and wrapped millions of plants since 1898, and your purchase of stock from us is 
assurance that you are getting the benefit of many years of experience. All plants are enclosed in laminated asphalt 
paper and securely tied with wire, which provides a sturdy package that will permit customer handling without 
losing eye appeal or moisture. Every package has a color picture tag and planting instructions attached, to create 
customer interest and eye appeal. 
Gran request, our accounts are furnished with 6 x 9 full color display lithographs as an aid in the merchandising 
of our line. All shipments are made in heavy corrugated cartons, securely strapped, with the contents indicated 
thereon. The branches of Roses are waxed prior to shipment so that moisture loss through the tops of the plants is 
retarded. Every effort has been made to provide the merchant with a high quality plant, wrapped to stand display 
temperatures and at the same time provide an attractive package for the customer. We guarantee that all stock 
offered is graded in accordance with the standards of the American Association of Nurserymen and that each variety 
is true to name.
