Dear Garden Friends: 
As we prepare this new issue we can not go on without first thanking all our good 
customers and garden friends for their interest shown. 
The demand for baby evergreens and shrubs is increasing each year. We are trying 
our best to meet this great demand by adding on more propagation facilities. 
Many of our customers are finding great pleasure in growing our trees and shrubs. 
Some of you are planning on building soon; plant now and your trees will be ready when 
you want them. 
Cash in on your idle land. If you have half an acre or more, plant it in trees and in 
a few years you will start to enjoy the profits from these trees. 
Institutions such as Schools, Colleges, City playgrounds, Parks and large estates are 
in need of plantings but seldom are allowed enough money to carry such programs. Many 
of these places are now buying our stock—the cost of which is so low that it makes it much 
easier to carry on their programs. It takes a few years longer to raise plants from small 
seedlings and transplants, but if this planting is never started you will never have it. 
We have listed on the inside back cover trees best suited for landscaping purposes and 
most popular for lot sales. There is a fine selection of Evergreens, Shrubs, Rhododendrons and 
Azaleas to choose from. If you are planning to grow trees in large quantities, we suggest 
you use this list. 
Sincerely, 
LET’S PLANT AMERICA — PLANT NOW!

Location of Our Nursery—Visitors welcome. 
We are located on U.S. Route 20, in Say- 
brook, approximately three miles east of 
Geneva and seven miles west of Ashtabula, 
Ohio, on north side of road. 
If you wish to pick up your order at our 
Nursery, drop us a line and give us the date 
you wish to pick up your order and we will 
have it ready for you. 
Our Guarantee—We guarantee our plants 
to reach you in good, healthy condition and 
free from injurious pests and diseases. 
Aiter stock is planted we cannot assume 
responsibility. Success and continued growth 
depend largely on soil and weather condi- 
tions, which we have no control over. 
Seasons — Our Spring shipping season be- 
gins as soon as the frost is out of the ground 
and trees can be dug. It continues until June, 
weather permitting. Fall shipping begins 
about the first part of September and ends 
when ground is frozen. 
Packing and Shipping—All our young trees 
and shrubs are packed free of charge. We 
assure you good, clean stock, free from di- 
sease and insects, and hardy Northern grown. 
All bare root plants will be packed with 
damp sphagnum moss, then wrapped in 
waterproof kraft paper and carefully tied. 
Larger orders will be packed in wire-bound 
crates or large wooden boxes. Every ship- 
ment will bear an inspection certificate. 
Unless noted, orders will be shipped ex- 
press, charges collect. It is best we send 
larger orders by express, smaller by parcel 
post. We do not ship plants by freight. When 
shipment of plants is received, check care- 
fully and report any damage or delay to 
your agent at once, also notify us. 
Making Out Orders—Make sure name is 
plainly printed or written. P.O. means the 
City or Town in which your mail is received. 
A tew shipments were lost last season due 
to the shipment being addressed to the County 
rather than the City. If the shipping point is 
other than your city, please state. Some towns 
do not have an express station; if so, please 
specify the nearest one. 
When to Order—Please order early if it is 
possible. Unlike other things that you buy, 
trees should be ordered in advance; long be- 
fore the shipping time is best. There is always 
some variety we may run short on. 
We will not substitute unless we have 
your permission. However, wedo» prefer a 
second choice. 
NOTE — This catalog can be used for fall orders
