BARTELDES NURSERY STOCK 
Buying nursery stock is just as important as buying seed but many people do not give it the same 
attention. A good many farmers will be extremely careful to buy only the very best seed and see to 
it that they buy it of an old established and reliable seed house, but then will turn right around and 
buy their fruit trees and other nursery stock from the first agent that comes around. 
This agent may be selling for a perfectly reliable and first class house but on the other hand he may 
be selling for some fly-by-night concern that makes it a practice of sending agents to one section for one 
season and then to another section the next season so as not to call on the same people twice. 
Be dead sure that your trees come from a reliable company so that you will know that you are getting 
what you order. 
We do not send out agents but sell either through reliable merchants or direct. In this way you know 
that you are dealing with the Barteldes Seed Co., and you may be sure of getting first class stock and a 
square deal. 
By selling through our seed catalog we avoid the great expense of sending out salesmen to call on 
each person personally and we also get away from the expense of getting out an extra catalog for each 
of our customers who may wish to buy some trees or shrubs. We therefore can sell at very low prices. 
You will find it very convenient to send your order for nursery stock right with your seed order and 
you may be assured that this order will have proper and prompt attention. 
Terms. Our terms, as for seed orders, are cash with order, prices include packing in first-class manner 
and delivery at express or freight office here, purchaser to pay transportation charges.
