The Linn County Nursery 
M M 
The Linn County Nursery was established in 1892 by A. Snyder & Son. After 
the death of the senior member of the firm, it was conducted for several years 
by S W Snyder, who in 1907 was joined by a younger brother, under the firm 
name of Snyder Bros. Both the present members, therefore, have had a long 
experience in this business, and in twenty-one years have seen it grow from a few 
rows of stock on the farm to over thirty acres of stock, growing mostly at 
Center Point. 
The orchard originally planted by A. Snyder has been greatly enlarged and 
now contains hundreds of varieties and more are being planted every year. 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; this 
makes our trees what many call "pedigreed stock." 
Descriptions. It is our intention in this catalogue to furnish accurate descrip- 
tions and in every case avoid exaggerations which are so common in nursery cata- 
logues. We aim to test out every variety in our orchard before giving it a place in 
the catalogue. 
We firmly believe in selection, and always cut propagating wood from the 
trees which produce the best results in the orchard. Practically all our scions 
are grown in our own orchard. Those which are not are procured from the 
most reliable sources. We never send out want lists to see where they can be 
bought cheapest. 
Packing FaciUties. These consist of a substantial building 100x100 feet, 
with storage building 60x64, cellar, packing shed, etc. None of our stock is 
handled outside. We use particular care to see that every box and bale is well 
papered and the roots well covered with moist packing. 
Prices. The prices we usually quote are for first-class stock of the larger 
sizes, delivered at the customer's town. We will quote the lighter and smaller 
grades upon request. The increased cost of labor and scarcity of some lines of 
stock makes prices somewhat higher than heretofore. 
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 causes over 
which we have no control. 
Certificate. A certificate of Nursery Inspection, certifying that our nurseries 
have been inspected by the State Entomologist and found free from all dangerous 
insects, pests and diseases, is attached to all orders that leave our nurseries. 
Visitors Welcome. Tree-lovers find much satisfaction in seeing and selecting 
the stock they buy; we therefore take pleasure in inviting all interested In 
nursery stock to visit our nurseries and inspect the stock. 
Anyone wanting extra large and fine specimens of Evergreens 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 Catalogue. We have some trees of many kinds 
not listed in this catalogue. If you do not see what you want, write us; we 
secure for you anything grown by American nurserymen, if we do not have it, and 
the price will be right.
