WISELY 
There comes a time when improvements 
for the home can no longer be delayed—- 
when to do so is almost suicide. During the 
years of depression, most home grounds 
have been sadly neglected, and now is the 
time to start on the up-grade before it is 
too late. 
SERVICE and 
QUALITY 
To serve Ferris 
customers at every 
turn has been our 
constant aim since the 
very beginning, and we are not failing you 
this year. We are proud to offer you, 
through this catalog, the finest Evergreens, 
Shrubs, Fruits and Ornamentals we have 
ever produced—trees and plants with the 
** famous Ferris root systems and strong 
sturdy tops, that will go out and grow for 
all of you, wherever you are. No expense 
retain our standard of HIGHEST QUALITY 
EARL FERRIS and 
MRS. FERRIS. 
In the year 1899, Earl 
Ferris moved the nursery 
from Bristow, Iowa, to 
Hampton, and has been 
president and general man¬ 
ager since that time. 
has been spared to 
for our customers. 
Then, compare our prices with others. We are called the 
People's Nursery, as our prices are down so low that every- 
one can afford them. We grow our own nursery stock, and 
sell it direct to you through this catalog, saving you not only 
a costly salesman’s commission but also the expense and 
possible injury from extra handling. This Planter’s Guide is our only sales¬ 
man-accurate descriptions and actual photographs to help you make a careful 
selection—and prices that will save you about 50 per cent.

The “come-again” patronage of our custo¬ 
mers has meant much to us in the past, helping 
to build up our nursery to its present great 
proportions. We are looking forward to re¬ 
newed contacts with all old friends again this 
season—the same High Quality, Low Prices and Best Service are awaiting you 
—w'hile to all new customers we extend a cordial welcome. It will be a real 
pleasure to serve you, to show you how your home can be beautifully land¬ 
scaped and improved for so little money.
