Deciduous Trees 
The price of nursery stock is fixed according to the value 
of the tree offered. The value of the tree depends entirely 
upon the character of the stock and it is this “value” which 
makes prices differ in the catalogues of nurserymen. Stock 
that is sold at a low price is grown with the least possible 
expense put upon it, but at a sacrifice to the “quality.” Stock 
that is thoroughly cultivated, grown in good soil, well manured 
and several times transplanted cannot be grown cheaply, but 
its “value” to the planter is increased, and in the long run 
such stock is cheaper than poorly grown stock at a “low 
price.” 
We bring up-to-date methods into the production of our 
goods. Our soil is especially adapted for the growing of good 
nursery stock. We spend thousands of dollars yearly in 
manures and in cultivating; besides this our trees are fre¬ 
quently transplanted. We cull out and burn all crooked and 
imperfect trees so that our customers receive full value for 
the prices charged. 
Intending purchasers of nursery stock should keep this in 
mind when comparing our prices with others. A visit to our 
nurseries will convince any one of the statement we make. 
We call particular attention of customers to the trees 
marked “Specimens,/” These are trees that have been fre¬ 
quently transplanted, set wide apart in nursery roWs and are 
well developed in every way.
