“Evergreen liners in the transplant beds. We will stick 150,000 cuttings this year.” 
C. R. BURR & COMPANY has been ‘‘Growing Since ’98’’ a complete line of hardy 
northern grown nursery stock, including Evergreens, Fruit Trees, Hedge Plants, Roses, Shade 
and Flowering Trees, Shrubs and Vines. We have 600 fertile acres under cultivation in the soil 
rich Connecticut Valley, famous for shade tobacco and many other agricultural products. 
_ Although planting was somewhat delayed this past spring, the heavy rains got the plants 
off to a fine start, which one of the wettest Julys on record has helped produce a special growth. 
This is especially true of our flowering shrubs, which are all cut back in the field after their 
first or second year. With Burr shrubs, your customer will achieve an immediate effect. 
Among the outstanding varieties available this year,are Euonymus Alatus and Euonymus 
Alatus Compacta, Forsythia Spring Glory, Spirea Macrothrysa, French Hybrid Lilacs in 
excellent variety, and Weigelas These Weigelas, incidentally, are the finest we have ever had. 
In view of their comparative scarcity, we think they are good property. 
In addition, we have a wide range of shade and flowering trees for your selection. These 
include Norway, Schwedler,and Sugar Maple, Cut Leaf Weeping Birch, Pauls Scarlet Haw- 
thorn, Redbud, Flowering Crabs in variety, Purple Leaf Plum and an unusual novelty item 
a tree form Purple Fringe, or Smoke Tree. 
Of special interest is our large selection of evergreens. Whether you need them for resale 
at your Sales Yard, for growing on or for landscape work, you will find what you need at Burr. 
We have Spreading and Upright Yew, Greek, Irish, Pfitzer and Savin Juniper, Pyramidal and 
Globe type Arbor Vitae, Black Hills, Colorado, Norway and White Spruce, and Canadian 
Hemlock, that invite comparison,with those grown anywhere. Next to their quality, we think 
you will agree, the best thing about Burr evergreens is their price. 
The general outlook in the industry is a favorable one and we believe that demand will 
remain high so long as building maintains its present high level. 
We are always glad to show visiting nurserymen around our farms and, through our 
warehouses. It has proved to be our best form of advertising and we hope that you will find it 
possible 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 let us know when or where 
you will arrive. <
