DESCRIPTIONS OF PLANTS 
We have tried to give you a brief but 
true description of each variety according 
to its performance in northeastern Ohio. 
Some variation can be expected in climates 
markedly different from ours; indeed, 
some may not grow at all in a completely 
different climate. Fir trees (Abies), for 
example, will grow quite well here but 
will not grow where summers are long, 
dry, and hot. 
Maturity sizes are given for the various 
plants to indicate the size a typical plant 
will attain in this climate during ten to 
thirty years, soil and other conditions be- 
ing normal. Very good and very poor sit- 
uations will result in corresponding varia- 
tions. Also, very old specimens may be 
twice as large as the size we have indi- 
cated. 
We take pride in the quality of our stock and 
the satisfaction of our customers. 
Order early to insure fulfillment of your entire 
order. 
KEY TO SYMBOLS: 
T means transplanted. 
TT means twice transplanted. 
(Transplanting develops heavy 
fibrous root systems.) 
S means seedling, not transplanted. 
RC means rooted cutting. 
MATURITY SIZE: Immediately after the 
Latin name (which is in parentheses) a 
figure is given, such as ‘4-6 ft.” This fig- 
ure represents the average height of that 
plant after twenty years in northern Ohio 
conditions. 
HARDINESS: Following the maturity size 
is listed the hardiness zone, based on mini- 
mum winter temperatures the plant will 
normally withstand. Factors such as mois- 
ture, wind, soil, and others are as im- 
portant in hardiness as is the tempera- 
ture, but these zones will serve as a guide: 
Zone I, 50 below 0 F or colder 
Zone II, 50 below to 35 below 
Zone III, 35 below to 20 below 
Zone IV, 20 below to 10 below 
Zone V, 10 below to 5 below 
Zone VI, 5 below to 5 above 
Our nursery is in Zone V.
