WI DO OUR PART 
H E IS determined to see higher prices paid to farmers. Prices are some higher now 
than they were a year ago. They are bound to go higher. Right now is the 
time to buy and set all the plants that you can afford, at our low prices. These 
plants will be right in line to bear you fruit that will be much higher in price than it was 
this season. In another 
year you will surely have 
to pay more for all kinds 
of plants and trees. 
We are not going to 
waste four or five pages 
telling you that our plants 
are the only plants for 
you to buy. You know 
better. There are a good 
many good nurseries in 
the country. They have to 
be good to still be in the 
business. Just like all 
automobiles are good to¬ 
day. They also have to 
be, or the company would be bankrupt long 
ago. We are going to tell you, however, 
that we will not take a back seat from 
any one, when it comes to growing high 
QUALITY nursery stock. We again offer 
you Hardy Northern Grown plants, shrubs 
and trees, at the lowest possible price. This 
stock did not just happen. It is scientifically 
grown on specially prepared soil that is best 
fitted for each variety, to get those long 
fibrous roots, and the heavy crowns, that 
are full of pep and vitality, just “raring to 
go” the minute you set them in your garden.

Gentlemen: 
About seven years ago I 
purchased a supply of your 
Alfred Blackberries. I 
have a large patch of them 
now and they are the first 
and only fruits I have ever 
been able to produce to 
look as beautiful as they do 
in pictures. 
Yours very truly, 
E. R. YOUNG. 
You have been WARNED 
several times by some very re¬ 
liable nurseries to beware of 
“CHEAP JOHN.” Of course 
that “shoe” does not fit us, so 
we will not wear it. It is how¬ 
ever some very good advice, 
for we have seen several SO- 
CALLED NURSERIES 
spring up over night, and last 
a year or so and they are 
never heard of again. They 
will offer their patch of straw¬ 
berry plants for sale to the 
public after they have finished 
picking berries from it all 
summer. We say to you again. 
“Buy from an old established 
concern.” If you will do this 
you can feel safe to order and enclose your hard 
earned money, and be sure that we will be here 
when the time comes to ship your plants to you in 
the Spring. 
We doubt it very much if there is a nursery in 
the country that is not short of strawberry plants 
this year due to the very hot and dry June and July. 
With us it is just the other way. We have nearly 
twice as many strawberry plants as last year. This 
is due to our secret scientific method of growing 
strawberry plants. If you are interested in knowing 
how we do it, we will gladly tell you if you will 
simply write on the order sheet at the time you 
send in your order. 
We do not have an irrigation system. We think 
that overhead irrigation has a tendency to cause 
plants to become short rooted. We make our plants 
go down after moisture, and thereby causing them 
to have long strong fibrous roots.
