DESCRIPTIONS OF PLANTS 
We have tried to give a brief, factual 
description of each plant according to its 
performance in northeastern Ohio. Some 
variation can be expected in climates 
markedly different from ours; for example 
azaleas will grow better in New Jersey or 
Oregon but not nearly so well in the Great 
Plains. 
MATURITY SIZE: Immediately after the 
Latin name (in parentheses) a figure is 
given, such ‘4-6 ft’. This means that 
plant will attain a height from 4 to 6 ft. 
during ten to thirty years in average Ohio 
conditions. Climate, soil, pruning and 
other factors may cause differences. 
HARDINESS: Following maturity size 
is the hardiness zone, based on minimum 
winter temperatures the plant will normal- 
ly withstand. Moisture, wind, soil, and 
other factors are as important as tempera- 
ture, but these zones will serve as a guide: 
Zone | 50 below OF or colder 
Zone I! 50 below to 35 below 
Zone Ill 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. 
5 PLANTS OF A KIND AT THE 10 RATE. 
25 OR MORE AT THE 100 RATE. 
KEY TO SYMBOLS: 
T means transplanted. 
TT means twice transplanted. 
(Transplanting develops heavy 
fibrous root systems) 
B&B means balled and burlapped. 
Please let us know if you are in any way 
displeased with our plants or our service. 
We do our best to grow good plants and 
we take pride in the quality of our stock 
and the satisfaction of our customers. If 
you are not satisfied we want to hear from

If you have any questions about nursery

glad to answer them if we can. 
Thank you,
