What a wonderful summer it was for growth of evergreens! Many of you who live in the northeast will be glad to hear that two months of cool and wet was at least good for something. Not so good for gardens and vacationers.

We aren't adding any new products this year. The 4 ½ foot Christmas tree which we introduced last year proved to be a popular item for those with limited space, or as a second tree for another part of the house.

When we purchased this little mail order business 17 years ago the owners had established a wreath price of $23.50. We have not changed that price in all those years. But now, 17 years later, we find we must. It's only a dollar and a half, and will affect the price of the wreath alone, or any of the giftpacks which contain a wreath. We trust you will understand. All other prices remain the same. Our farm, home and business are still for sale. We will keep five acres up back for a new house and our selling price includes our services as mentors or consultants for as long as the new owner requires. So if you or someone you know is looking for a lifestyle change this would be a great opportunity. There are approximately 30 acres of Christmas trees and 150 acres of woodland.

Once again we thank you for allowing our little brochure into your home. We wish all of you and peaceful and meaningful holiday season.
