FREE. I have gotten up at considerable expense a pamphlet 
containing transplanting and cultural directions for the 
different fruits. The same also contains minute directions for the 
destruction of all insect pests which prey upon the different fruits 
together with directions for the use of the different sprays giving 
formulas and their proper time of application. This pamphlet will 
be mailed free with every order, and is worth to every fruit 
grower infinitely more than the paltry premium of a "few extra 
trees." To those not ordering who request it, same will be mailed 
for 6 cents. It will save you dollars. 
Old Customers. A person's work as a rule is appreciated who 
"holds down his job," in other words if you do 
your work well you can keep your place. Nothing affords me 
more pleasure than to receive year after year orders from the 
same persons. While I am very anxious for new customers the 
annual return of the old ones causes me to think my work is being 
done with some degree of satisfaction at least; the fact of my re- 
taining my customers so universally is a strong proof why you 
who have never tried my stock might do so to advantage. 
A Standing Advertisement . It has been truthfully said a satis- 
fied customer is a good advertise- 
ment. It would be easy to fill this catalog with letters received 
during the past year similar to the following: "Mr. B., who 
planted an orchard of your trees last spring, is so well pleased 
with them that he assures me I can do no better than to write 
you for prices." 
INVITATION. A personal inspection of my stocl< in its different stages 
of growth is always in order. •

Rule. — Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the 
plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be the number of square 
feet for each plant or hill ; which divided into the number of square feet in 
an acre (43,560), will give the number of plants or trees to the acre. 
GRADES. Our different grades are all carefully selected and our lighter 
grades are not old rough stock, but young, clean, thrifty and well rooted. 
Avoid an old small tree.
