Good, clean cultivation is one of the secrets of successful fruit growing. 



Greeting to Old Customers and New 



^MM TAKE pleasure in presenting herewith my annual catalog, greatly enlarged, 

 11 containing a brief description of the Fruit and Ornamental nursery stock, 

 ■ I offered by me. I have tried to make the arrangement simple and system- 

 IB atic, so that it will be of assistance to you in making up your order. 



I am deeply grateful to my old customers for their continued patronage, 

 and I assure you, I will use my best efforts to give you the highest quality in the 

 stock I send out. To you who have never purchased any stock of me, I earnestly 

 beg a trial order. I can furnish you as fine a stock of plants and trees as anyone. 



My plan is to satisfy. Whether you are a new customer, or an old patron, I 

 promise to do absolutely everything in my power to satisfy you, to keep you satisfi- 

 ed, and to retain you as a permanent buyer of Tingle's Plants, Trees, etc. 



My aim is to make my business improve, to grow better stock each year, so 

 my customers will grow more prosperous year after year. 



I want yot to feel that I have a greater interest in you than in simply filling 

 your orders — I want you to feel that I am as much concerned about the success of 

 your crops as though you lived right next door to me, or on the next farm where 

 I could see how things were coming along. I want to conduct my business in such 

 a way that you who order anything of me will not only be a customer but a friend 

 as well. If you do not know just the varieties to plant, or want any information 

 about varieties or planting, let me help you — I will be glad to assist you. 



I will appreciate it if you will tell your neighbor about me, show him this cata- 

 log, get him to send his order along with yours, and 1 will add some extra stock 

 to pay you for your trouble. 



I again wish to thank all my old friends for their help in securing me many 

 new customers, and to thank my new friends for their giving me a share of their 

 business. To you all, I wish a prosperous 1914. 



Yours faithfully. 



Leamon G, Tingle.
