SHADOW NURSERY COMPANY 
Winchester, Tennessee 
May 2, 1955 
"Just for Information." 
March 25, 1955 we had a most destructive hail storm in this locality, 
followed by nine nights of freezing weather that played havoc with a 
portion of our seedlings we had expected to bud this season, this 
similar condition exists with all Nurserymen in this part of Tennessee. 
Fortunately we had one block seed planted two weeks later that was not 
out of the ground and from this block we hope to bud from 60,000 to 
75,000 JUNE BUDDED PEACH and definately we will be forced to confine 
this budding to varieties wanted by our customers and friends, for 
early contracts and bookings. 
Until May 16, {955 we will quote contract prices on your variety list 
wanted for fall planting, subject to crop conditions and from these 
lists we will make our plans for budding, 
We do appreciate the nice business our loyal customers and friends 
have given us all during these past years. We solicit continuance of 
same, assuring you that we will supply present demands as far as 
possible. 
We always cut our budwood for budding from known sources, true to 
name without a doubt, grow to the highest standard possible. All 
these operations are under close supervision. 
Yours truly, 
Shadow Nursery Company
