Growing Satisfaction 
We adopted this trade- 
mark or motto "Growing 
Satisfaction" because it ex- 
presses better than any phrase 
we could think of the service we try to give 
our customers. 
It means much more than supplying 
good trees and plants. If you have read 
our catalog carefully, you must have been 
impressed with our efforts to help those 
who need it, to "start right," for success 
depends upon the individual planter more 
than on any other one factor. 
"Here is the great and fata! error with a large 
portion who attempt the cultivation of fruit. We may 
not incorrectly divide these into three classes: 
1. Those who, having procured their trees, 
destroy them at once by drying them in the sun or 
wind, or freezing them in the cold, before setting out. 
2. Those who destroy them by crowding the roots 
into small holes cut out of a sod, where, if they live, 
they maintain a stunted and feeble existence, like the 
half starved cattle of a neglected farmer. 
3. Others set them out well, and then consider 
their labors as having closed. They are subsequently 
suffered to become choked with grass, weeds, or crops 
of grain— some live and linger; others die under the 
hardship, or else are demolished by cattle, or broken 
down by the team which cultivates the ground." 
— From Thomas' American Fruit Culturist. 
Having "started right," it is imperative 
to keep going right. That's why we send
