Ruppert Nurseries,
Inc. makes every effort to sell nursery stock that complies with
the standards found in the most recent edition of the American
Standard for Nursery Stock (ANSI Z60.1), the "Standard".
The
principal function of the Standard is to help buyers and sellers
of nursery stock communicate with confidence by using a comprehensive
and consistent set of measurement and specification nomenclature.
Compliance with the Standard is an assurance that you receive nursery
stock that is consistent and has been measured, sized and prepared
for shipment in the manner you expect.
We
are proud of this policy and encourage you to request adherence
to the Standard from any other growers from whom you purchase nursery
stock. If you need to purchase a copy of the Standard, contact
ANLA Publications in Washington, D.C., at (202) 789-2900.
