ANNOUNCEMENT 
For more than fifteen years we have made the growing of high grade nur- 
sery stock a specialty. We aim to keep in stock everything for the planter, all 
graded to the best standard, which is now well known to the trade. Through 
our immense business and wide acquaintance we have established a reputation 
for accuracy in varieties, grading to the highest standard, and promptness in 
filling orders of which we are proud, and which it will always be our aim to 
deserve, realizing that a satisfied customer is our best advertiser. We have a 
large home trade here, as well as shipping trade, selling thousands of dollars 
worth of nursery stock to farmers in this vicinity, who drive into our grounds 
and take the stock with them, often in large loads. For the benefit of our cus- 
tomers living at, or in the vicinity of Baroda, we have established a branch 
nursery on our farm one mile east of that town, known as the Baroda Nursery. 
My son, Jesse J. Dunham is manager there. He thoroughly understands the 
business, and any one wishing to buy from there will get as prompt attention, 
and stock as good as can be furnished. 
To the home trade living in this vicinity, and who come after their stock, 
saving us the packing in boxes, we will extend to them credit for a reasonable 
time, on secured note without interest, if paid when due; and to those paying 
cash at time they get their stock, we will allow them 5% discount. 
ORDERING. — In ordering give specific • directions as to whether the stock 
is to be shipped by freight or express, giving route. Where there are no direc- 
tions given, we ship to the best of our judgement, but assume no risk. After 
stock has been delivered to railroad station or express office our responsibility 
ceases. 
ORDERS. — Write your order on sheet separate from letter, please. It is much 
handier for us. Order while our list of varieties is complete. In case we are 
out of a variety we will substitute another of equal merit, unless you say not 
to, always taking care to please you and labeling true to name. 
For the protection of our customers, the nurseries have been inspected in 
accordance with the state laws, and a certificate issued, showing that our 
stock and premises are entirely free from obnoxious pests or diseases. 
FUMIGATION. — Our Stock will be fumigated with hydrocyanic acid gas, so 
there will be no danger of scale or insects. 
GUARANTEE. — All our stock is true to name and carefully labeled; yet 
while we use the greatest care to do this, we will not be held responsible for 
any sum greater than the cost of the stock, should any prove otherwise than 
as represented. We warrant our stock to reach customers in good condition, if 
sent by mail or express. 
REFERENCE. — We refer to Commercial National Bank. St. Joseph, Mich.; 
American Express Agent, Stevensville, Mich; John Corrigan, Merchant, Stevens- 
ville, Mich., and E. G. & Z. A. Smith, Stevensville, Mich.; Bradstreet’s and Dun 
Co., agencies.

All inquiries cheerfully anstvered, but please make them short and to the
