“We have been buying nursery 
stock for several years but yours is 
the best looking we ever received.” 
—E. P. Prescott, Arizona. 
W HEN the various items of cost in planting and maintaining an 
orchard are considered, the original cost of trees is compara¬ 
tively insignificant. But the quality of your nursery stock is of vital 
importance. Your investment in 
your trees from the time they are 
set out until they begin to bear 
is considerable. In order to real¬ 
ize a fair profit, your loss of 
trees must be very small and 
those trees must be thrifty, vig¬ 
orous and resistant. 
We have specialized in grow¬ 
ing fruit tree stock for many 
years. Many successful orchardists 
have purchased Neosho Stock 
year after year. Neosho Fruit 
Trees possess extra vitality that 
makes them profitable fruit trees. 
Grown on rich Hagerstown 
upland soil, Neosho Nursery 
stock possesses heavy root sys¬ 
tems, sturdy trunks, and extra vi¬ 
tality. It pays to buy Neosho 
Quality Stock. 
Neosho Trees Have Superior 
Root Systems

“Received trees (540 apple, 115 peach) 
Monday morning. I procured the best 
orchard man in this section and we began 
work yesterday. This man has set 
orchards 32 years and said these trees 
were the best he had ever handled. Thank 
you for good trees and service.”—Laura 
Heidelberger, Missouri. 
“The apple trees we got from you this 
spring are doing wonderfully well and so 
far have only lost eight trees out of the 
thirteen hundred and seventy-five.”— 
Riverside Fruit Farm, Kansas. 
A Tennessee Orchardist Has 
More Than 15,000 Neosho Trees 
This picture shows part of 1,565 husliels of Delicious Apples from ISO trees 11 
years old owned by the Muskingum Fruit Farm of Ohio. Beginning with 1917 
they have purchased six orders from us totaling nearly $1,200.00. We sent them 
2,510 trees in the spring of 1929. 
One of the most striking instances 
of profit from fruit growing is that 
of the Big Four Orchards at Nash¬ 
ville, Arkansas. They planted 250 
acres of Neosho Nurseries peach trees 
in 1920 and the president, Mr. B. L. 
Thompson, wrote us April 16, 1927, 
as follows: 
“It has paid the stockholders their 
money back that was put into it to 
start with and 45% besides.” 
No doubt you have read of many in¬ 
stances of good profit with other kinds 
of fruit also. We could tell you about 
plenty of them. But the question is, 
“How is it done?” 
One man succeeds where another— 
with equally good opportunities—fails. 
Management is the main factor. 
There is a fine young orchard near 
Neosho of our trees, while across the 
road there is nothing left of an orchard 
planted at the same time. That was due 
to poor trees at the start. 
Compare the average annual cash 
returns per acre over 5 years of these 
two Michigan orchards: 
Trees 13 to 21 to 35 
20 yrs. old yrs. old 
A .$111.50 $151.25 
B . 21.30 . 
Over 35 
yrs. old 
$334.50 
48.00 
These orchards are a short distance 
apart, contain the same varieties and 
the trees are about the same average 
age. The difference in results lies in 
management and location.
