SIZE OF FRUIT TREES: We grade or sort our fruit 
trees by caliper or diameter about two inches above the 
point where the grafted or budded top puts forth. The 
heights given are from actual measurement of all va- 
rieties dug last season. These heights vary from year 
to year according to the growing season. Moreover, 
varieties of the same class or kind differ in growing 
habit, some naturally grow taller, some insist on 
branching, some grow more shapely tops. A short, 
stocky tree is much better than a tall, spindly specimen. 
You must cut off part of the top anyway when you 
plant your trees except with sour cherries. 
REPLACEMENTS. We do not promise to replace stock 
that fails to grow, because the life of trees and plants 
depends upon conditions over which we have no control. 
The chief causes of failure after nursery stock is re- 
ceived are: drying out in the sun or wind or freezing 
in the cold; failure to properly prune the roots and 
tops; crowding the roots into small holes cut out of the 
sod; failure to tramp the soil firmly about the roots; 
lack of proper care and attention. 
YOURS FOR GROWING SATISFACTION. That is 
our motto. The inexperienced find our catalog a big 
help in starting right, and even experienced growers 
and horticulturists endorse our "Inside Facts of Profit- 
able Fruit Growing" and our "How to Beautify Your 
Home Grounds." Our customers like our stock. Many 
of them say so. Moreover, more than 41% of our retail 
sales comes from old customers.
