ZACHMAN’S PEAR NURSERY 
DEAR CUSTOMER: 
Our catolog is not an expensive one, but we feel sure you will find what 
you want in it at the lowest possible price. It is very easy to pay out a 
thousand dollars for catalogs, but in the end the customer pays for it. 
We want to thank you for the orders you have given us in the past, and 
hope we can serve you again this year. Repeat orders indicate that our 
customers are pleased with the goods we are shipping out. We send only the 
best Trees and Plants to our customers. In some cases thirty per cent is 
culled out and destroyed. We are selling only the best at the lowest possible 
price. Our prices have advanced somewhat this year on account of the 
nursery code. 
Our Fruit Trees made a fine growth this year in spite of the dry summer. 
A number of them bore fruit in the nursery row, in particular one Pear Tree 
less than five feet tall bore seventeen pears. Fruit growing in the north is 
only in its infancy since the discovery and development of Hardy Fruits, 
such as Apples, Pears, Plums, Cherries, and Raspberries. All of these are 
equal to our tropical fruits for size and quality. Why not grow them here 
and pick ripe fresh fruit in our own back yard or orchard. We specialize 
in new fruits introduced and recommended by the Minnesota Experiment 
Station. 
We have sufficient proof that three acres of land planted to fruit will 
supply enough cash for any ordinary family to live on and drive a fine car. 
The fruit men laugh at hard times. Why shouldn’t they? Berry growers 
cleared $200.00 acre and apple growers from $400.00 to $700.00 per acre 
in 1933. For success, buy nothing but northern grown nursery stock that 
is adapted for the north. Experience taught us that this is the first step for 
success in fruit growing in the north. 
Sincerely yours, 
L. M. ZACHMAN.
