C. R. BURR & COMPANY, Inc., has been ‘Growing Since ’98’’ a complete line of 
northern grown nursery stock, including evergreens, fruit trees, hedge plants, roses, shade 
trees, flowering trees, shrubs and vines. We have 600 fertile acres under cultivation in the 
rich Connecticut Valley, famous for shade-grown tobacco and other agricultural crops. 
This has been a good growing summer, if somewhat dry, and our stock is making sturdy 
growth and fine root development. Our catalogue is being compiled earlier this year, so that 
we can not see the whole season’s growth yet, but it is a safe prediction that our plants will be 
of the same high quality as usual, thanks to recent generous rains. 
We don’t grow everything, but we do have an extensive selection of color and variety in 
nearly every category. There are 57 varieties of patented roses, including all of the newer 
varieties such as Queen Elizabeth, Tiffany, Jiminy Cricket, and this year’s AARS winner, 
Circus. In addition, we have 55 of the tried and true non-patented varieties to choose from. In 
flowering shrubs we have a complete line, including all of the old favorites such as Forsythia, 
Hydrangea, Mock Orange, and Quince, in addition to many of the newer introductions, includ- 
ing Forsythia Spring Glory, Forsythia Lynwood Gold, Philadelphus Coronarius Aurea, and 
Clavey’s Dwarf Honeysuckle. 
Although they are not any more plentiful than they have been in recent years, we havea 
good range of shade and ornamental trees. There are Norway, Sugar and Silver Maples, Birch, 
Hawthorne, Flowering Peach and Flowering Plum. We have added Prunus Mt. Fuji, a double 
white flowering cherry this year. See the complete list on page 22. 
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, although quality roses are definitely in short supply asa result of the freeze of March 26. 
Yews are another item that cannot be found in quantity—at least not good ones. 
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. (See map on Index Page).
