Greeting 
We thank all of our friends, old and new, for their 
liberal patronage during the past, and we come to you 
this year with a finer stock of plants than in years past, 
which we are sure will please you in every way. With best wishes to all we 
remain yours. BRIDGMAN NURSERY CO. 
We have a wonderfully fine stock of plants 
to offer this year. 
They are grown far enough north to reach 
the climax of vitality and bearing qualities. 
Seldom were plants grown to such perfection 
in every detail. 
The climate here helps. 
The humidity and cool breezes from the lake 
afford them ample means to mature perfectly. 
Just compare our plants with others and you 
will see at a glance how much we excel. Our 
plants have wonderful bearing qualities, and 
are grown exclusively under our personal super- 
vision. Continuous, persistent painstaking care 
brings their vitality to the front in such a man- 
ner that they will produce finer flavored, larger, 
and handsomer berries than plants not looked 
after as closely as ours. They come to you 
thoroughly inspected by highly qualified and 
authorized Inspectors, who have made plant 
life a thorough study so you can rest assured 
when you get our plants you are getting the 
very best. 
New Customers. 
If this should be your first order, and per- 
haps you are not sure of the varieties you think

pert will give you any information you desire.

A Word About Oui- New Catalog'. 
Our new catalog has all of the tried and 
standard varieties. They make money and sure 
crops every time. It is guess work trying out 
new kinds, which enthusiastic plant introducers 
try to make you believe, not once but often, 
that this particular one is IT, and a special 
favor at so much per DOZEN, they will start 
you on the Henry route. You will most always 
find there are a few things they did not know, 
or did not say, and you failed to make good 
and you have to go way back, and start over. 
Now why not buy something you know you 
can bank on, something that has a reputation 
for being right, that will sure bring home the 
bacon every time. We have no gold bricks for 
sale. We have nothing but A-1 plants.
