Dear Fellow Grower: 
The continued rain of this past spring, while it made shipping 
and planting difficult, certainly favored the stock which was in the 
land. As a result we have some exceptionally fine blocks of plants 
in all types and varieties available for this coming season. 
HARDY JAPANESE AZALEAS, 
Hardiness we consider essential, and an estimate of relative hardi- 
ness for each variety is given. Some new varieties have been added and 
are available in the liner grade only. 
I cannot pass on without brief mention of our new treatment for 
iron chlorosis. By spraying with Iron Sequestrene, we have completely 
eliminated this trouble. Plants are a uniform, deep glossy green, first 
class salable material. All Kurume varieties will be lifted in late 
September and heeled into frames for overwintering, so that this foliage 
condition is preserved for spring deliveries. 
OWN ROOT HYBRID RHODODENDRONS. 
Because of greatly increased production we are now able to give 
ProoL OL Our avOWed intention to bring the prices of Rhododendrons down. 
The 1 year grade is eliminated, and on certain varieties we have REDUCED 
OUR PRICES on the two and three year grades. Our stocks have never looked 
better. Substantial blocks of bushy, deep green plants--=-thanks again to 
lron Sequestrene--=-make it certain that the stock you receive will sell on 
Sight. 
TAXUS . 
These, together with Azaleas and Rhododendrons, are our featured 
plants for this year. Heavy shearing, adequate feeding and general good 
care has produced some outstanding blocks in all varieties. Our Taxus 
customers were well pleased last spring. They will be delighted this 
coming season. 
Why not come down to Bridgeton and select your own plants. We shall 
be happy to see you, but if time is short then ask our sales representative 
to call. His personal service is available to anyone within 500 miles of 
the nursery.
