dig from. We have a finer and larger amount of 
perfect plants per acre than ever before. We do 
wish you could see them. 
What a New York Nurseryman 
Says 
A prominent nurseryman from Dansville, New 
York, made this statement after viewing our plant 
field: There is one thing I would like to say to 
your help after viewing your soil and the magnifi- 
cent growth of plants; that it is surely a pleasure 
to work in such ideal soil and in my opinion your 
help should pay you for allowing them to work 
on such grand and perfect soil. I am sure they 
would be willing to do so if they went home with 
me and could see what my help have to contend 
with, for they have not only large hills, but a 
stony and clay soil to work with. I don't wonder 
that yon grow plants and it seems to me that you 
have enough plants on this ground I am looking 
at to supply the whole United States. But he did 
not see one-tenth of them, and according to his 
own estimate, we have enough for the whole world. 
Easy to Grow 
In buying plants it is like everything else, if 
you get good ones you will have no trouble to 
make them grow, as we guarantee safe arrival, 
in good condition. You are assured of freshly 
packed stock. If same does not appear so when 
it arrives at your station or the package is broken 
or in any way it does not look right draw the 
attention of your express agent to the fact and 
have him note on your bill the condition it arrived 
in and the matter can be easily adjusted. 
Safe Arrival 
With every shipment we make we take the 
greatest of care to have these plants get to you 
in perfect condition. They are grovim and packed 
to reach you safely. Distance cuts no figure. 
Easy Money Growing Our 
Strawberries 
The plants that we grow are grown with a pur- 
pose to produce large crops of berries of extra 
large size, fine flavor and color. If you want 
some of this easy money we know of no better 
way than to get a good sized order of our guar- 
anteed plants this spring. 
Every Market Needs More Fancy 
Berries 
There is no market but that will take at good 
prices all the fancy fruit it can get hold of, and 
you can easily supply them with the same if you 
just make the right start. Our well grown plants 
make it easy. 
THIS ORDER WENT TO NEBRASKA— LOST ONE 
PLANT. 
Blair, Nebraska, April 22, 1919. 
Bridgman Nursery Company. 
Dear Sir: 
I received your order all O. K. and was well pleased 
with same. I just lost one plant out of all those you 
sent me. I may send you another order if it is not 
too late, if you will send me another catalog, as I 
loaned mine to one of my neighbors. Yours very truly, 
A. A. PARENT.

Dear Sirs : 
I received the shipment of plants yesterday and 
they were in good shape. Am very well pleaaed. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. A. D. BARTLETT. 
Ask a Neighbor if in Doubt 
If you wish to settle the question of soil andi 
the varieties to plant ask a neighbor or someone 
who has had some experience with berries. If you 
get no help from that source write to us and we- 
will gladly give you the benefit of our long ex- 
perience in that line free. 
Give Away Your Catalog 
We don't know of any better way you can do- 
missionary work than to find someone who is not 
already a customer of ours and give them your 
catalog. We will send you another brand new one- 
gladly and will be ever so much obliged to you 
besides. You know there is nothing goes so far 
as a personal word of recommendation. You have 
lots of neighbors who have never heard of us and 
you have others who may have. Now, a personal 
word of endorsement from you would go a long 
ways toward making them customers. We feel that 
you would be doing them a favor and we know you> 
would be doing us one. If you have enjoyed our 
catalog and feel that you ought to give a word 
of encouragement and help, this is the best way 
you can possibly do it. We get hundreds and 
hundreds of orders every year from people who- 
tell us that they are using a catalog borrowed: 
from one of our customers. Every order helps. 
We are trying to give you all a good, fair, square 
deal and a little better treatment than you would' 
get anywhere else. We want to spread the busi- 
ness and enlarge it just as much as we can. Yout 
can help by speaking to that neighbor of yours.. 
We would do as much for you. 
Yours truly, 
BRIDGMAN NURSERY COMPANY. 
Here Again 
Last winter we sent you a catalog either at: 
your request or that of one of your friends, but; 
for some reason we failed to do any business,. 
Of course we don't expect to get an order from, 
every catalog sent out, but do from mo?t,of th^m,. 
and we hate to miss out on the rest of them- 
We always feel that it must have been our fault: 
some way, that we failed to offer you just what 
you were looking for. 
But it was perhaps our first call on you, and' 
we are not the fellows to give up with once trying,, 
so we are sending you our catalog again. We don't 
want you to think we are butting in and trying to- 
get an order whether or no. Nothing of the kind. 
But since we have been asked to call on you, 
we arc going to give you a good chance to buy if 
you have any notion that way. 
Just sit down and take a solid hour and read* 
the catalog through. Maybe you didn't take time 
to do that last year. Then if we can't trade we 
haven't another word to say. 
Yours truly, 
BRIDGMAN NURSERY COMPANY.
