WE INVITE YOU to come and visit our nursery and greenhouse this 
spring, where you will find almost everything you can think of in the line of trees, 
shrubs, evergreens, fruit trees, perennials and vegetable and flowering plants. 
We have 30 acres of ‘Growing Beauty in Nature” from which to choose 
your out-door living room for your home. By coming to the nursery you have the. 
opportunity of seeing the good quality of stock that you will receive. You may 
select your own evergreens from our field of hundreds of trees of the various 
varieties, choosing the size and varieties that best suit your needs. We are happy 
to assist you in choosing the best variety for its proper place in your landscape 
plan. Our large acreage gives us the opportunity of having a large assortment 
of stock from which you may choose. You seldom find a mail order catalog that 
lists shrubs as large as the 3-4 ft. grade, but our customers who come to the 
nursery and see what they are getting realize that the larger grades are really the 
cheapest. 
Over 50 years experience in the nursery business to help you choose the 
nursery stock that is best suited to your conditions. During those many years we 
have tried almost every variety of tree, shrub, and fruit that has been planted in 
this climate and if you do not find the variety in this catalog that ycu are interested 
in it is likely that we have discarded it for a hardier variety or something better 
or are not growing it in large enough quantities to pay to list it. You may ask all 
the questions you have about the care and growth habits of the various varieties 
and we will give you the most reliable information that our many years experience 
has given us. 
Having taken over the management of the nursery, myself, will allow my 
father, with his more than 50 years experience, more time to answer your questions 
and assist you with your landscape problems, whether it is landscaping a new 
home, planning an orchard or planting a windbreak. My own lifetime of 28 
years has been spent here at the nursery with the exception of a couple years 
in the Army and 3 winters at the University of Minnesota studying Horticulture. 
I remember as a little boy of pulling my little wagon out into the nursery follow- 
ing my father as he went about selecting trees and shrubs for sale. 
Here at the nursery also to assist you and especially with your greenhouse 
flowers and vegetable plants is my brother, Edwin, with a lifetime of nursery 
and greenhouse experience. Many of you will remember our foreman, Herb 
Dunnett, who has helped you select your nursery needs for many years, will be 
waiting with a smile to serve you again in 1953. Your Perennial beds and flower 
gardens will not be complete without a new variety selected with the help of Miss 
Lura rege Your many telephone calls will be answered by my mother and 
my wife. 
We will be glad to serve you during the coming year.
