This selection will give 
you an abundance of 
choice, fresh fruits from 
your own garden for nearly 
six months; strawberries 
first, followed by other 
berries and tree fruits, last 
of all, the winter apples. 
The Everbearing Straw- 
berries will bear this sum- 
mer and fall; next year 
you will get bush fruits 
and grapes, later on, tree 
fruits and finally, the in- 
comparable Delicious. 
“Last February, I ordered one 
of your special $5.00 assortments of 
fruit trees. I am more than pleased 
with the result of that planting as 
every one of the fruit trees made an 
exceptional growth in the past year, 
and I did not lose a single one of 
them.” — Forrest McKinley, Dent- 
ing, New Mexico. 
“We received your $5.00 collec- 
tion, and must say | we are exceed- 
ingly pleased with it.” — Mrs. Emile 
Rooke, Meriden, Connecticut. 
“Your trees received. They ar- 
rived in splendid condition. I am 
well pleased with the collection.” — 
Charles Shoefer, St. Charles, Mo. 
These trees and plants 
are the largest size we 
grow. They are healthy 
and vigorous and have the 
unusually wide-spreading, 
heavy roots which have 
pleased home and com- 
mercial planters all over 
this country.

are not satisfied upon re- 
ceipt of this collection, we 
will refund your five dollars 
promptly, with no “if’s,” 
“and’s” or “but’s.” This 
offer expires April 2, 1917. 
“Just received our $5.00 special 
nursery order from you. Each tree 
and shrub was a joy within itself, 
about as near perfection as anything 
I have seen in the nursery line.” — 
A. W. Cornelius, Rantoul, Kansas. 
“I planted a $5.00 trial order 
from you, and must say that I was 
real pleased with same. Intend to 
plant more of your stock this year.” 
— Geo. Thornewell, Hamilton, On- 
tario, Canada. 
“That $5.00 trial collection I or- 
dered from you came last week, and 
I must say I never saw a finer lot 
of trees from any nursery.” — Thos. 
R. Jones, Jr., White Stone, Vir- 
ginia.
