RICHARDSON’S BUSINESS PRINCIPLES 
You probably already know and don’t need this page of telling you 
that we have built up a tremendous nursery. We have always kept in mind 
that we didn’t want to get so big that we didn’t know what we were doing. 
We want to have personal supervision over your order. That way we know 
about what we are doing and when we are satisfied we know you are. 
We have various types of soil. Some of it carries moisture and some of 
it is on the dry side. For that reason every item that you see listed in our 
catalogue is successfully grown on our soil. Now if there is any nursery that 
has any better type of soil for this purpose we haven’t come in contact with 
it yet and this firm is in the third generation. 
Permit us to say, without reflecting upon any of our competitors, that 
our nursery stock is preferred. 
If you order the kind of plants that we have listed in our catalogue we 
know just as well what to do with it as any other specialist knows his job. 
Our name is on the boxes of plants. They are shipped from our shipping point. 
The whole assorted order arrives to you at the same time, not part from one 
place and part from another place. 
The point that we are trying to bring out to you is that we don’t do 
first this, that, and the other. 
OUR MOTTO IS TO GO ON AND ON AND ON WITH THE SAME 
BUSINESS PRINCIPLES WHICH HAVE MADE THIS BUSINESS 
A GREAT BUSINESS THAT WE ARE SO PROUD OF.
