Thousands of our old customers 
have testified to that. They have ap¬ 
proved our way of doing business by

and have a strong bearing on qualitv 
and price. THE DEPRESSION has 
not hindered us in our ambition to im¬ 
prove our soils with cover crops, stable 
manure, etc., years in advance. On the 
contrary, we have made every effort to 
live up to our reputation to produce 
and offer only superior nursery stock,

Our Soil. 
Our northern climate is ideal for 
growing hardy nursery stock, because 
we are located so near Lake Michigan, 
which puts a damper on our winters, 
making the climate such that our nurs¬ 
ery stock is practically dormant until 
late in the spring. Bear in mind, Mr. 
Fruit Grower, plants that are dormant 
so late in the season have little foliage 
and carry well in transit. That is one 
reason why our plants can be shipped 
long distances with the best of results. 
We Raise the Fertility of Our Soil With Carloads of Manure Every Year to 
Give You Sturdier Plants.
