FOREWORD 
Read Every Word of This 
We wish at this time to thank our customers for their liberal orders during 
the year 1915. This year brings us into the twelfth year of the continuous 
operation of this establishment. In these twelve years we have grown from 
a very small nursery until now we are shipping goods into almost every 
state. When we adopted the slogan, GROWN RIGHT— DUG RIGHT- 
PACKED RIGHT, it did not take very long for our customers to report 
that the stock was grown right and that we had secured the roots when 
digging. It took us several years to find out how best to pack right, and 
in confirmation of the fact that our stock is packed right we wish you might 
read the numerous letters we have received from individuals, florists, 
nurserymen and others telling us that the stock arrived in splendid condi- 
tion and with the best of packing. We can now truthfully and honestly 
say to you that Aurora Grown Means Well Grown, and that Aurora Nurseries 
products are GROWN RIGHT— DUG RIGHT— PACKED RIGHT. 
Our Methods. We do not claim to be perfection; we make mistakes just 
the same as anybody else will do. We do maintain, however that if any- 
thing is not right we will make it right. All we ask is that our customers 
treat us just as honestly as we treat them. If you are not on the square 
do not waste your time and ours by sending to us for nursery stock unless 
you send the money with the order. If you are square and you can bear 
investigation we will give you time. 
Prices. The prices made are on a basis as indicated in this list. Five 
plants will be furnished at the rate per ten; twenty-five at the rate per hun- 
dred. Should your order amount to $25.00 or more figure everything at 
the rate per hundred except that five of each variety must be selected in 
order to obtain this rate. 
Packing. The prices in this list do not include the cost of packing, such 
as boxes or bales which will be charged at approximate cost. Please beax 
this in mind. We deliver to railroad or express office free. 
Location. The Nurseries are located in Northern Illinois, 37 miles west 
of Chicago at Aurora, on the main line of the C, B. & Q. R. R., the Outer 
Belt Line of the City of Chi- 
cago, which passes through 
Aurora, connects us with all the 
trunk lines entering Chicago. 
Shipments made from Aurora to 
any point will arrive with 
promptness and despatch. 
Shipping. Please give plain 
and explicit shipping instruc- 
tions as to how you wish your 
stock shipped, otherwise we will 
ship as in our judgment we 
deem best. State whether we 
shall ship by freight or express,
