INTRODUCTION 
We take pleasure in presenting our thlrtlethannual cata- 
logue revised, enlarged and up to date. The lists herein 
described have been gone over carefully and thoroughly, and 
varieties which have been tested to our satisfaction and proven 
valuable have been added. Others which time and valuable ex- 
perience have shown to be inferior have been omitted. 
It has been our aim in the past to be of all possible assist- 
ance to our customers in selecting and caring for the general 
stock we offer for sale, and we hope the suggestions contained 
in this catalogue, the result that long experience prompts us 
to offer, will be of material benefit to them. 
We are growing here at Loveland a large and complete 
line of nursery stock and are paying especial attention to vari- 
eties which have proven best for the planters in the West. But 
we wish to say right here that we do not claim or do not wish 
it understood that we grow everything we sell, nor does any 
other nursery. The demand for standard stock has been very 
great, and some varieties run short, and it becomes necessary 
to supply the shortage from other nurseries and what we have 
in surplus we sell to other nurseries. We do, however, grow 
all the standards in fruit and shade stock and more than any 
other nursery in the Rocky Mountain region; and we do mot 
wish to be mistaken for jobbers, who simply buy and sell, and 
grow nothing, some of whom we supply. We have the largest 
and oldest nursery in the Rocky Mountain region and the propo- 
gatlng and handling of stock is carried on under our personal 
supervision and by men of long experience. We are constantly 
enlarging our plant in an effort to keep up with the growing 
trade, and it is our aim to keep on supplying the best of every- 
thing for the general planter. 
Our stock is well grown, healthy and free from insect 
pests, and we are confident we can please the most discrim- 
inating buyer. Our prices are as low as consistent with 
high-grade stock and that is the only kind we care to handle. 
Our nursery is only fourteen miles from the State Agri- 
cultural college, where Professor Gillette, state etomologist 
and chief of the horticultural Inspectors of the state, lives 
and who visits our nursery at various times during the grow- 
ing season, and we especially call your attention to his 
repoit in this catalogue. To those who have not had any 
dealings with us, we only ask lor an opportunity to demon- 
strate what we can do.. We have given satisfaction to our 
old customers, and thank them for their liberal patronage 
and loyal support.. We can do the same for you. 
We shall be pleased to serve you. both with our time and 
experience, giving you the best we have, which is second to 
none.
