Hundreds of visitors each spring; 
you are always welcome. 
Dear Friends: ee; 
This part of our 1955 Fall Catalog is de- 
signed to tell you about Spring Hiil. Peter 
Bohlender, our grandfather, stayed home in 
~ 1849 instead of going West for gold. With the 
smallest shoestring beginnings he started 
- what is now one of the largest nurseries in 
America. 
During the depression years in the 1930’s 
we decided to specialize in selling direct the 
nursery stock we grow. With the help of 
an excellent and experienced staff of em- 
ployees, hard work, modern equipment, lat- 
est techniques, and fertile farms we are 
producing a large acreage of high quality 
plants here at Tipp City and selling them 
direct at big savings to you. 
Shop this catalog, compare prices and 
quality. We will save you many dollars. If 
possible, visit the nursery and shop in our 
super market where you can select your 
own plants or order by mail the easy and 
convenient way. May we be privileged to 
serve you? 
Our sincere thanks for your patronage.
