FERNDALE NURSERY—ASKOV, MINNESOTA, 1935 
GREETINGS 
To our many old customers and prospective new ones we extend greetings. 
We appreciate the patronage that has been given us in the past and shall en¬ 
deavor to merit a continuation of your confidence in the future. 
INVITATION 
A hearty invitation is hereby extended to you to visit our nursery which is 
located conveniently within the village limits of Askov—only 100 miles north of 
the Twin Cities and 60 miles south of Duluth, 4 miles off paved highway, U. S. 61. 
You will be delighted and feel well repaid for the time spent in the nursery. 
Bring your picnic lunch if you like, we have picnic tables for such occasions and 
we shall try to make your visit pleasant in every way. Open on Sundays as well 
as week days. 
The short drive from paved highway to Askov will be a pleasant surprise. 
The new state highway leading across Kettle River gorge has made easily access- 
able one of Minnesota’s natural beauty spots. The village of Askov has secured 
a 48-acre tract of land along the left river bank which is being developed into a 
natural park. Driveways and footpaths have been constructed making all inter¬ 
esting points accessible. Visit the natural Rock Garden at the extreme upper 
end of the park, follow the winding footpath along the hillside to the natural rock 
cave and the gorgeous lily-pond where hundreds of water lilies are in bloom dur¬ 
ing the summer. Scattered throughout the park you will find a dozen varieties 
of ferns in their natural haunts from the Polypodium and Rusty Woodsia clinging 
to the bare rocks, to Cinnamon and Ostrich ferns waving their tall lacey plumes 
from the bogs and rich bottom land. Note the large number of species of trees 
and shrubs which nature has planted within this small area. 
Tables, seats, benches and playground equipment will be found in convenient 
places throughout the park. The road leading from the river towards Askov 
rises on an easy grade to an elevation of 135 feet above the water level of the 
river and from the crest of the hill you will obtain a never-to-be-forgotten pano¬ 
ramic view of the beautiful Kettle River gorge. You will leave the park with 
regrets that your visit could not be prolonged.

PRICES 
You will find our prices as low or lower than those offered by any reputable 
nursery in the Northwest. Nursery stocks are very low and actual shortages 
exist in several varieties, and since it requires several years to grow some trees 
this shortage will continue for some time. 
GUARANTEE 
We guarantee all stock furnished by us to be first class, healthy, free from 
injurious insect pests and true to name. Stock found to be otherwise will, upon 
proper proof, be replaced free of charge. 
We do not guarantee plants to grow after planting. There are so many 
causes for failure of plants over which we have no control that we can assume 
no responsibility after stock is delivered. Claims for unsatisfactory stock will 
be entertained only when made within ten days after arrival.
