Emlong’s 750 acres of nursery stock are located 
in the heart of Michigan’s famous fruit belt— 
ideal soil and climate. 
Emlong’s Nurseries are ideally located to produce the finest, hardiest, 
heaviest'bearing stock possible to grow anywhere. In the heart of Mich¬ 
igan’s famous fruit belt. Over 700 acres of carefully selected, well 
drained, upland soil—the mellow, rich sandy soil that develops a mar¬ 
velous root system on plants and trees. No sappy, black-rooted, low- 
ground plants come from our farms. We spare no expense in soil im¬ 
provement. Cover crops are plowed under twice a year, and carloads of 
commercial fertilizer applied to put every possible ounce of fertility 
into our soil. v 
Finest Soil and Best Growing Conditions in the World 
Our climate is ideal, with a long growing season, frequent rains, and 
a keen, invigorating atmosphere; tempered with mild breezes off Lake 
Michigan. The temperature falls gradually to zero in late fall, produc¬ 
ing extremely hardy stock that thrives everywhere. 
Equipment and Facilities That Can't Be 
Matched Anywhere 
The pictures on the foregoing page will give you some idea of F.m- 
long’s unrivaled production facilities. Thousands of dollars worth of the 
most modern machinery-^much of it built especially 
for us. All this combines to keep our soil in the finest 
condition and place plant production on a scientific 
and economical basis. We pass the savings on to our 
customers. 
Years of Experience in Breeding 
and Plant Selection 
There is more than half a century of experience 
behind EMLONG’S. Knowledge acquired by patient 
experiment has been passed down from father to 
son. In selecting propagating stock we know the 
kind that will yield the best and most fruit for you. 
Emlong plants are never permitted to bear fruit be¬ 
fore they reach you—their vitality is fully preserved 
to work for you! Don’t confuse EMLONG stock 
with stock taken from old bearing fields—frequently 
disease infected—such as offered by some firms at 
ridiculously “cheap” prices. Don’t take chances—
