OUR LOCATION—Our nur,se.;ie5'- are locate*! in the 
“Blizzard Belt”LaCN&r-fchem Iowarabotrt^trMTles from 
the Minnesota State line, where we have very wide ex¬ 
tremes in weather conditions. During the winter we 
are subject to Blizzards that last from two to three 
days, with mercury running sometimes as low as 40 
degrees below zero. During the summer months we 
often have the other extreme, with hot conditions. 
During the year we get a sample of about every kind 
of weather that can be found between Maine and Cal¬ 
ifornia and from Florida to the Canadian line. Our 
customers have found that our Fruits and Flowers, grown under these 
great extremes in weather conditions, are like the animal life of the 
far north, full of vitality, and easy to make grow in all parts of the U. S. 
Our Shipping Season for Spring opens in March for Southern States 
and continues up to latter part of May for Northern States.

C.O.D. adding the collection charge to the amount of the order. We

IN CLOSING—I hope you have enjoyed looking through this little 
catalogue; and, incidently, have found something in it that you can

prompt and efficient service at shipping time and will appreciate your

Wishing you the best of success with all of your plantings, I am, 
Cordially yours,
