SINCE 1887 We Have Served the West 
_ The Marshall Nurseries were started at Arlington 
in 1887. Originally, all six Marshall brothers were 
with the nurseries. George, Chester, Harvey, Eli, 
Ami, and Austin. Eli, Ami and Austin are deceased, 
and the others are retired, although George, Chester, 
and Harvey are stockholders, and officers. 
George, particularly, established a national reputa- 
tion as an outstanding nurseryman and orchardist. 
He was always on the lookout for new varieties and 
better strains for our.territory. Numerous of the selec- 
tions and strains we have are the result of his efforts. 
From the beginning they made it a policy to rec- 
ommend only such varieties that they themselves 
would plant. They were careful that varieties were 
true-to-name, and they established a reputation for 
Better Built Trees. 
They gradually expanded the nurseries and added more men, making a house- 
to-house canvass for tree orders. They made it a point to see that these men 
were well-informed and capable of providing reliable information for the suc- 
cessful growing of trees for their customers. 
Trial grounds were maintained in the nurseries to test for hardiness, pro- 
ductiveness, etc. 
These men built up a good business with a good reputation. Today the com- 
pany is one of the largest nurseries in the country. 
REASONS WHY 
MARSHALL NURSERIES EXCEL 
1. It is an old, established company—-since 1887. 
2. The nurseries are located on high land with soil 
particularly adapted to tree and plant growth. 
3. It grows stock that has proven its adaptability 
for the West and Northwest. 
4. It grows the most complete line in the West. 
5. No expense is spared in propagation, cultivation, 
and training to produce the best, vigorous, and 
dependable stock. 
6. It produces better built trees. It does not send out weak, parcel-post sizes. 
7. Equipment for handling and packing out nursery stock is the best. The 
stock must be handled right as well as grown right. Each order is care- 
fully packed in sphagnum moss and wrapped in moisture-proof paper, then 
in burlap to withstand long shipment without injury. 
8. Specialists are in charge of every department—no better trained nursery- 
men are in the business. 
9. It is in close touch with the leading horticulturalists of America and 
maintains trial grounds at the nursery, so it is thoroughly posted on the 
very latest developments.

The younger generation of Marshalls who are 
now active with the work are continuing this policy 
of raising better built trees and giving service to 
the customer. 
We have always believed, when suggesting what 
to plant, to recommend what we would plant, our- 
selves. Practicing the Golden Rule makes for a 
profitable sale in the long run, to both the buyer 
and the seller.
