To Our Friends 
We hope that this little edition fulfills its mission—and 
that is to make your place more beautiful 
and more fruitful 
W E HAVE tried to make it more than a mere catalogue. In it you will find de¬ 
scribed many treasures of the orchard and garden. In our extensive assortment of 
trees, shrubs and flowers and with so many varieties from which to choose, there 
are plants available for any place and for any purpose for which you may need them. 
Their commercial value is undisputed. Of their beauty it can truly be said—in their 
manner is grace, in their color is rest and their power of beauty gives happiness. 
When you know them intimately their presence is inspiring and their influence 
perpetual. 
For your convenience we have made this book into Ornamental and Fruit De¬ 
partments. These are properly divided into several groups and under each group 
heading we first describe, then suggest, planting and after care. Further information 
may be had by referring to index, and reading general topics, like Landscaping, How 
to Plan an Orchard, Spraying, Planting Instructions, etc. This may save you the 
trouble of writing, but if you fail to find what you want, remember we are obligated 
to every customer as well as the community for their friendship and patronage and 
we will gladly help you if we can. 
We cherish a hope that this book will prove interesting and that somewhere in 
it you may find a helpful suggestion or new idea. It has been planned to assist you 
in making your place more bountiful, your house a home and your lot a beauty spot. 
We cordially invite you to inspect our nursery.
