C. R. BURR & COMPANY, Inc., has been ‘“‘Growing Since ’98’’ a complete line of 
northern grown nursery stock, including evergreens, fruit trees, hedge plants, roses, shade 
trees, flowering trees and shrubs. We have 600 fertile acres under cultivation in the rich Con- 
necticut Valley, famous for shade-grown tobacco and other agricultural crops. 
This has been a good growing season, with rapid development once the unseasonal snows 
melted away. Our plants are well branched and sturdy, and should grade out moderately heavy. 
We do not grow everything, but we do have an extensive selection of color and variety 
in nearly every category. There are 54 varieties in patented roses, including 1957 AARS 
award winners Golden Showers and White Bouquet, and recent winners Circus, Queen Eliza- 
beth, Tiffany and Jiminy Cricket. In addition, we have 47 varieties of the favorite non-patented 
roses to choose from. In flowering shrubs we have a complete line, with such old favorites as 
Forsythia, Hydrangea, Mock Orange and Quince, and many of the newer introductions, in- 
cluding Forsythia Lynwood Gold, Dwarf Deutzia and Golden Mock Orange. 
We expect an exceptionally fine crop of ornamental trees this year. The maples and flower- 
ing crabs are outstanding values and we have a good supply to start the season. In lesser 
supply, but still very good stock, are such popular trees as Paul’s Scarlet Hawthorne, Prunus 
Kwanzan, Mountain Ash and Flowering Plum. 
We will not have all of the evergreens we would like. Upright Taxus will be scarce in all 
varieties, but there will be good spreaders. Arbor Vitae will be beautiful. Plenty of moisture 
in the growing season and our usual practice of close shearing is producing good dense plants. 
We are always glad to show visiting nurserymen around our farms and through our 
warehouses. It has proved to be our best form of advertising and we hope that you will find 
it possible to visit us. Our Main Office is nine miles East of Hartford, Conn., near Routes 6, 
15 and 44. We will meet you at Hartford or Springfield, Mass., if you let us know when or 
where you will arrive. (See map on Index Page).
