40 THE KADOTA FIG 



My nurseries this season, 1919, were caught in heavy frosts very early in 

 the Autumn and my losses were extremely heavy. Great disappointment will 

 come to my customers, who have ordered stock and have been assured my 

 nurseries would supply them, only at the last moment to find my frozen stock 

 useless, and their plans ruined for this season. 



While my losses are heavy, I fully appreciate that the growers' losses are 

 heavier still. I am apportioning to those ordering very early, and the year 

 before, all I have in my nurseries which stand a chance at all, and here I 

 again assure my customers that everij rooting I supply to them is supposed to 

 grow. If it is planted before March 15, and it fails to grow, next season I 

 will supply another tree of the same price, free, and will refund the original 

 price paid for the defunct rooting. 



I am in the nursery business to STAY and a satisfied customer is my 

 best advertiser.
