Dear Friends,

2012 has already been a year of numerous positive changes at the Kankakee Nursery.

In early July we launched our new website which we are very proud of and excited about sharing with you. We feel that it is very customer friendly and offers many improvements from the previous site. First, information relating to characteristics is much more abundant. Photo availability has greatly increased, with new ones being added daily. Search ability is also much improved. It is now much easier to find the specific item you are looking for due to an enhanced ability to search by distinct traits of the plant you are interested in. Finally, online plant availability is updated constantly to ensure better accuracy, and the on-line ordering process has been streamlined.

A record 43 new plant varieties have been added to production this year, with additional varieties being evaluated on an ongoing basis. We look at new from multiple entities. Our experienced team selects only those plants that prove to be either superior to an existing variety or those that offer our customer desirable traits while still meeting our strict criteria in terms of hardiness, disease resistance, etc. You can view these new varieties on pages 8 & 9 of this catalog.

Production of our new line of container grown native is also now in full swing. By growing these trees in a #10-gallon container, we feel that we can offer a line of substantial trees with a high quality root system for improved survivability. Most of these trees will be available in the summer of 2013. A list of new container varieties in production can be found on pages 8 of this catalog.

Despite the pressures of a weak economy, we have once again expanded our B&B tree production this past spring, with plans to do so again in the spring of 2013 and beyond. By doing so, we feel we are positioning ourselves well for future demand. Our field staff has been doing an excellent job of maintaining our fields and the quality of our stock. Those customers who have visited the nursery this year invariably remark as to how well the nursery looks. We hope that you will find the opportunity to come to the nursery and see for yourself. You are welcome to tour our facilities at any time. We would be delighted to show you around!

Steve Worth Sales Manager
