Fruit Trees 
Choice northern-grown fruit trees have been one of the featured 
items at Burr’s for many years. As New England’s largest fruit-tree 
growers, we are confident that your requirements will be satisfied 
here. All trees are grown by the most modern methods and all are 
graded to the standards of the American Association of Nurserymen. 
The inspectors of the Massachusetts Fruit Growers Association 
offer inspection service for trueness-to-name and are regularly em- 
ployed to inspect Burr blocks of fruit trees. The certificate issued to 
C. R. Burr & Co., Inc., as of August 26, 1953, reads as follows: 
“All of the apple, pear, plum, and one-year sweet cherry varieties 
propagated and now growing at the nurseries of C. R. Burr & Co. 
Inc., Manchester, Connecticut have been examined by the Massa- 
chusetts Trueness-to-name Inspection Service. To the best of our 
knowledge, these trees are true to name as they now stand in the 
nursery row.
