Why we say: 
“WEST HAS THE BEST” 
SINCE 1895 we have been growing plants and trees here at Perry. Perry 
is situated on the southern shore of Lake Erie in Lake County, which has 
the reputation of being the largest nursery center in the United States. This 
is due to the tempering influence of Lake Erie upon our climate with every 
type of soil available for the growing of every type of plant material. 
On our own nursery we have sand, gravel, muck, sand-loam, clay-loam, 
and clay. This gives a type of soil adapted to the requirements of each type 
of tree we grow. Our stock does not have the willowy and watery soft 
growth common to southern and western grown trees. 
It has always been our aim to produce the best possible trees and plants 
for our customers. To that end we have given constant personal supervision 
to all operations of our nursery. We watch over the planting of our young 
stock; the cultivation and weeding. We personally cut and prepare all prop- 
agating wood for budding and grafting, which is taken from bearing trees 
and is your insurance that your trees will be true to name. 
It is our personal concern to see that our trees are dug with a large root 
system, carefully graded and packed for delivery to you; therefore, when we 
say ““WEST HAS THE BEST” we know whereof we speak.
