stock on the farm to a large acreage of stock growing mostly at Center Point. 
Th» m!l 5 the flr . m ° f ? nyd f r Bros - was Incorporated and is now Synder Bros Inc 
The management remains the same as before. W l 
The orchard originally planted by A. Snyder has been greatly enlarged and now 
Itl ,t t ai . ns ti nu " dreds t ° f varieties and more are being added every vear From the 
start it has been the aim of the proprietors to use as parent trees' only those trees 
of a variety which have produced the best results in the orchard; thfs makes our 
trees what many call "pedigreed stock." Practically all our cions are grown in Z 
own orchard. Those which are not are procured from the most reliible sources 
We never send out want lists to see where they can be bought cheapest 
Descriptions. It is our intention in this catalog to furnish accurate descriptions 
and m every case avoid exaggerations which are so common in nursery catalogs 
We aim to test out every variety in our orchard before giving it a place in the 
Packing facilities. Few nurseries are as well equipped to handle retail orders for 
a. large line of stock are we are. Our main building is 100x100 with storage cellar 
b0x64, graft cellar, label room, etc., and is fitted with modern appliances for 
handling heavy boxes, maintaining humidity, etc. None of our stock is handled 
outside We use particular care to see that every box and bale is well prepared and 
the roots well covered with moist packing. 
Location. Our office and packing house are located three blocks south of the C 
K. I. & P. and Cedar Valley Interurban stations and the main nursery extends one- 
halt mile southeast along their tracks. Thirty passenger trains pass by or through 
the nursery daily, making it an easy point to get to or from and giving splendid 
express service. v 
Automobiles ean easily reach our place and afford a splendid means of moving 
stock anywhere within a radius of fifty miles. If the customer brings several old 
blankets to cover the cushions we can load two or three hundred 4-5-ft fruit trees 
or 2-3-ft. evergreens into a touring car without injuring it. 
Prices. The prices usually quoted are for first-class stock of the larger and heavier 
grades. Lighter and smaller grades will be quoted upon request. We have larger 
stocks of many things than are listed in the price list and will be pleased to quote 
prices on them. 
Guaranty. We exercise great care to keep our varieties true to name, and are 
ready at any time to replace any stock that may prove untrue, or refund the amount 
paid for same; but it is mutually agreed that we are not to be held liable for any 
amount greater than the original price of the goods. 
Condition. We accept all orders on condition that they shall be void should any 
injury befall the stock from hail, frost, storm, fire or other cause over which wc 
have no control. 
Visitors Welcome. Tree lovers find much satisfaction in seeing and selecting the 
stock they buy; we take pleasure in inviting all interested in nursery stock to 
visit our nurseries and inspect the stock while it is growing. 
Anyone wanting extra large and fine specimens of Evergreen or Shade Trees 
can select them at any time of the year. Anything thus selected will be tagged 
with the customer's name and delivered at the proper time. 
Varieties Not Listed in This Catalog. We have some stook of many trees and 
plants not described in this catalog. If what you want is not listed, write us; we may 
bave it and if not, can secure anything grown by American nurserymen at a 
reasonable price.
