Dear Reader: 
The man who does his own thinking takes a look ahead, and plans to have fruit 
when the supply will be short and the demand heavy. And he soon finds out, if he does 
not know it already, that quick-growing crops or garden truck can be raised between the 
rows of his young trees, thus killing two birds with one stone. To such men or women 
we render an unusual service, so that they may have good fruit to eat or sell at an at- 
tractive profit. 
In the first place, this catalogue contains boiled-down information that will help 
you to begin right. For instance, you don't have to study two thousand varieties of 
apple to select those best suited to your climate, soil, and purpose, for the twenty-seven 
we list are the best of the lot. 
Second, no matter where you live, we can supply you with first-class trees or plants 
in prime condition. "The section from which trees come is unimportant as long as well- 
grown healthy trees, which are typical of the desired varieties, are obtained," says H. P. 
Gould, United States Pomologist. Our trees and plants are giving satisfaction in every 
State and even in Mexico, Japan, China, and other distant countries. 
Lastly, we furnish concise, reliable, easy-to-understand information on how to care 
for your stock. When you become our customer, we shall continue to keep in touch with 
you to learn of your results, to help, if need be, and we hope also to sell you more good 
trees and plants. 
You can have strawberries next summer and fall, if you will set out the Everbearers 
this spring. Standard strawberries, bush fruits, rhubarb, and asparagus begin to produce 
the second year after planting. Then in this order will come plums, peaches, cherries, 
apricots, quince, pears, crabapple, and apples. How soon } our trees bear depends upon 
the varieties and quality of stock you buy, how you plant and care for them, as well as 
upon your site, soil, climate, and weather conditions. 
The prices in this book are net F. O. B. Neosho and are the same to all. They are 
based upon cash with order or before shipment; otherwise they would have to be higher 
to meet the losses that are bound to come in doing a credit business. No provision has 
been made for commissions to anyone. These prices apply on orders received before 
January i, 1919. After that date they will in all probability be higher. 
With best wishes,
