TO THE TRADE 
February, 1952 
Dear friends, 
Another new year with its Spring season is a welcome 
opportunity to meet again with old friends and to make 
new acquaintances. 
This Spring will find us in a position to serve you with 
a greater variety of stock than we could offer in the past 
three years during and after our move from Westbury, N. Y. 
We invite you to inspect our list closely and of course your 
inquiries are always welcome. Visit us if you can, it will 
be our pleasure to show you around. 
There are a number of items, quantities of which are too 
small to warrant listing which we will be pleased to show 
at your request. As before many items are in short supply 
and early orders are suggested for those who do not wish 
to be disappointed. 
Your atiention is particularly invited to our offering of 
hybrid Rhododendron, Azalea Mollis and Azalea Pontica 
from 3%" pots on page 6 & 7. It is all excellent Al stock 
that can’t help but please. 
It would be our pleasure to serve you this spring season 
in anyway that we can. Please feel free to call on us. 
Yours sincerely, 
John Vermeulen & Son, Inc.
