“For Those Who Realize 
the Value of Quality” 
For thirty-six years—ever since The Krider 
Nurseries were established—it has been our wish 
that all our friends and customers might visit our 
nursery and that we might show you not only the 
home and beautiful surroundings of our nursery 
but the magnificent, fresh stock of plants, trees, 
and shrubs that make Krider’s the envy of every 
nursery in America. Every order is handled indiv¬ 
idually, in order that you will receive the BEST 
that money can buy. 
Thousands do visit our nursery and we extend 
to all of you an invitation to drive in. We have 
420 acres in one block at Middlebury, Indiana. 
Our office is three blocks from the center of the 
village and we have laid out six miles of drives 
through our nursery. You can drive your car past 
millions of shrubs and evergreens in full bloom 
and beauty. Acres of roses and acres of phlox in 
bloom in season. Rest and eat your lunch in the 
old mill which marks the entrance to our nursery. 
A table and seats are provided and the water which 
turns the old wheel is as pure as nature provides. 
You will enjoy both taste and sound. You will also enjoy the model rockery and lily pool at 
the same spot. You will enjoy an afternoon with us and a cordial welcome awaits you. 
But such a trip being impractical to the vast majority of you we are doing the next best 
thing; we are sending you facsimiles of the fruit and flowers we grow. We are presenting 
you a catalog which not only brings form and color to your vision, but those more subtle 
qualities—the appetizing plumpness of the apple, the luscious quality of the peach, the 
juiciness of the berry, and the glorious shadings of the colorful rose. In all respects, save 
perfume—and by the grace of the imagination you. may have even that in these pages-— 
you will have in this catalog a literal presentation of what your garden and orchard may 
produce from our stock. We guarantee our flowers to be exactly as colored and nature is 
better than any artist we have ever seen. We have never been able to get our roses and 
flowers on paper as beautiful as nature colored them. 
It is only by a comparison of the

GUARANTEE 
The Krider Nurseries, Inc., guarantee 
that each plant, shrub, and tree shall be of 
a size and quality as shown in this catalog 
and that it will reach customer in good 
growing condition. The company will re¬ 
place free of charge any stock not in good 
condition when it reaches customer upon 
receipt of freight or express bill properly 
signed by the agent with a notation of the 
loss or damage entered thereon. 
The Krider Nurseries guarantee all par¬ 
cel post shipments to reach customer in 
good condition but complaints must be 
made WITHIN FIVE DAYS AFTER 
GOODS ARE RECEIVED. 
The company further agrees to replace 
at one-half regular catalog price any shrub 
or tree dying during the first year after 
planting provided written report is made 
before October 1st following date of pur¬ 
chase. 
The company further guarantees that 
every plant, shrub, or tree is true to name 
and will replace free of charge or refund 
purchase price of any proven not to be so, 
but it is mutually agreed between pur¬ 
chaser and ourselves that we will not be 
held for any greater amount than the orig¬ 
inal purchase price. 
hardy, thrifty, sure-to-bear stock with 
weak, inferior plants that will dwindle 
and pine away and finally “peter out” 
that you can be convinced of the 
meaning of the phrase, “for those who 
realize the value of quality”. 
It means success instead of failure, 
it means satisfaction instead of disap¬ 
pointment. It means the joy of achieve¬ 
ment and success, whether it be a rose, 
a rock garden or a whole orchard. 
Krider’s hardy northern grown, true- 
to-name stock will please you. The best 
is none too good. Don’t waste years of 
time on inferior stock when just a few 
cents means the difference between 
vigor and weakness. 
For thirty-six years we have served 
you. We have grown from small to 
big. Our vigorous stock has undoubt¬ 
edly appealed to you or you would not 
have re-ordered again and again as 
many of our old customers do from 
year to year. You have told others, our 
best advertisement. 
Look over our prices. They are as 
low as good stock can sell for and we 
believe that they are lower than they 
will be in years to come. We call your 
attention to the fact that, notwithstand¬ 
ing 20 percent advance in labor and 
an added sales tax, we have maintained 
the same price set a year ago. 
Special Premiums for Early Orders 
As a rule most people wait until the first warm, sunshiny days of spring before they begin to think of ordering 
trees, plants and vines. Then they all send in their orders at one time, and to take care of these orders promptly 
we have to employ extra clerks and packers. If we can induce part or all of our patrons to send in their orders 
early we can distribute this work over a longer period of time and not only handle the orders better, but with a 
much smaller force of men and women. This means a considerable saving of time and money to us, and is the 
one and only reason we can make the liberal premium offer as set forth below. 
REMEMBER THE DAJE BEFORE THIS OFFER EXPIRES 
For all spring orders amounting to $5.00 received before March 15th, we will allow you to select $1.00 worth 
of any fruit or shrubbery listed in our catalog. For all orders amounting to $10.00 vve will allow you to select 
$2.00 worth. For all $20.00 orders, $4.00 worth, and for all $50.00 orders, $12.00 worth; for all $100.00 orders,

premium with a $10.00 order up until April 1st, 1934 in place of above which expires March 15th.
