C.R. BURR & COMPANY, INC. has been “‘Growing Since '98”’ a complete line of hardy 
northern grown nursery stock, including Evergreens, Fruit Trees, Hedge Plants, Roses, Shade 
and Flowering Trees, Shrubs and Vines. We have 600 fertile acres under cultivation in the 
soil rich Connecticut Valley, famous for shade tobacco and many other agricultural products. 
This summer has been one of the most phenomenal growing periods in our history. Although 
July was somewhat dry, we have had a tremendous amount of rain during August and early 
September. Although it’s been pretty difficult to keep up with the weeds, it has resulted in 
terrific growth on most items and incredible growth on others; for instance, our one year 
shrubs (cutting stock this spring) are already big enough to sell in many instances. 
We don’t grow everything, but we do have what we believe to be an extensive selection, 
both as to color and variety, in nearly every category; for instance, there are fifty-five (55) 
varieties of Patented Roses, including all the newer varieties, such as, Queen Elizabeth, Tiffany, 
Jiminy Cricket, etc. In addition we have forty-seven (47) varieties of the tried and true non- 
patented varieties to choose from. In flowering Shrubs we have a complete line, which includes 
all of the old favorites, such as Forsythia, Hydrangea, Mock Orange, Quince, in addition to 
many of the newer introductions, such as Forsythia Spring Glory, Spirea Macrothrysa Phila- 
delphus Belle Etoile, Weigela Vanicek, Viburnum Opulus Nana and others. 
Although they are not any more plentiful than they have been in recent years, we have 
a good range of flowering and shade trees including Norway, Sugar and Silver Maples, Birch, 
Hawthorn, Prunus Thundercloud, Dogwood and Redbud. We also have a limited number of 
Malus Oekonomierat Echtermeyer, the Weeping Flowering Crab. 
Our Evergreen production is concentrated in those varieties that enjoy the widest popu- 
larity and because of their price, sell more readily. We think that our prices will compare 
favorably with nearly everyone, although we won't be low on every item. Among the varieties 
you can select from and we hope that you will come up and look them over, if possible, are 
Irish, Greek, Hetz, Pfitzer and Savin Juniper, Dark American and Pyramidal Arbor Vitae, 
and an especially fine block of Globes. In addition, we have some outstanding young Hemlocks 
and Upright and Spreading Yews. 
Although business is becoming more competitive and selling requires more effort, the 
general outlook for Fall and Spring appears to be highly favorable. No acute scarcities seem 
to exist, with the exception of shade trees, and yet there never seems to be enough top quality 
material available at reasonable prices. 
We are always glad to show visiting nurserymen around our farms and through our 
warehouses. It has proved to be our best form of advertising and we hope that you will find 
it possible to visit us. Our Main Office is nine miles East of Hartford, Conn., near Routes 6, 
15 and 44. We will meet you at Hartford or Springfield, Mass., if you let us know when or where 
you will arrive.
