What affects the price of nursery-stock? Knowing the answer to this will enable 
you to shop wisely and to your greater satisfaction. You have doubtless noticed that most 
plants are described by height, spread or age alone. Were these the only factors to be 
considered, the purchase of plants would be much simpler. However, any prices based 
on these alone can be very misleading. Any such description usually gives no hint as to 
other vital aspects, viz: 
1. Is the material nursery-grown or collected from the woods? 
2. Root System: periodic nursery transplanting assures sturdy, healthy. 
active root system. Some growers neglect this important phase. 
3. Insects and diseases: is the plant healthy and strong? Not all dis- 
eases are easily visible. 
4. Body and fullness: is the plant well-developed or straggly and open? 
5. Handling and care: is it freshly dug and vigorous, or has it been out 
of the ground for many days. Plants out of the ground are like fish 
out of water — the shorter time, the better. 
For many of the above points you are entirely dependent on the ability, experience.

know that Bay State Nurseries can guarantee your complete satisfaction.
