Located on the Famous 
EASTERN SHORE of VIRGINIA 
Where “Heaven and Earth Meet” in the words of Capt. John 
Smith who described this land as the best suited for man’s 
habitation of any of the many places he had been. 
We can well add that because of its level terrain, loamy 
soil, delightful climate, and nearness to the great Eastern 
markets, it is the best suited land we have ever seen for 
growing Fine Nursery Stock. 
Far enough North to grow most of the Northern plant ma- 
terial; and yet tempered by the waters of Chesapeake Bay 
on the West and those of the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic on 
the East. The Southern materials, including many of the Ca- 
mellias, also thrive here. We are 200 miles South of Phila- 
delphia on the Pennsylvania Railway and Ocean Highway 
U. S. No. 13; and 50 miles North of Norfolk with which we 
are connected by a fast truck carrying ferry system running 
on a 90 minute schedule to and from near Cape Charles on the 
Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake and the Southern tip of 
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. 
The Eastern Shore and ithe Del-Mar-Va Peninsula have 
become a great nursery center. Come and find all your wanis.
