Here we are with our 1935 catalog—our ONLY sales¬ 
man! Can you spare a moment for a personal visit, 
so that we can get better acquainted? 
For nearly 60 years we have been selling nursery 
stock direct to our customers, thus saving them one- 
third to one-half over prices charged by many firms. 
The Emlong slogan has always been "QUALITY FIRST." 
With this watchword and 80 acres of unbroken land, 
HENRY EMLONG pioneered the growing of berry plants 
and fruits in Berrien County, Michigan, 60 years ago. 
It was he who laid the foundation of this great 
business which has made a steady growth until it now 
occupies over 750 acres of the finest soil in Berrien 
County. We are now THE WORLD’S LARGEST GROWERS OF 
FRUIT PLANTS. 
HENRY EMLONG 
The man who pio¬ 
neered the growing of 
Quality fruit and Fruit 
P lants in Ber rien 
County, Michigan, over 
fifty years ago. His 
ideals will always be 
the "guiding hand" in 
our great nursery. 
We want to thank our many customers of past years for the fine 
orders they have sent us. Your loyal support has enabled us to come 
through the worst business depression in years and maintain our 
stability When many other nurseries have failed. The money you have 
spent with Emlong has been turned back into our business to pay our 
workers, improve the soil, modernize production and packing methods, 
etc., so that we can produce BETTER NURSERY STOCK to fill your future 
orders. We don’t squander your money on high priced radio and news¬ 
paper advertising, because— 
Our statistics prove that OUR GREATEST VOLUME OF BUSINESS COMES 
THROUGH THE UNSOLICITED RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR SATISFIED CUSTOMERS! 
This help you have given us in gaining new customers is SINCERELY 
APPRECIATED—for it shows that you have CONFIDENCE in the Emlong 
policies and Emlong stock, or you would not refer your friends to us 
without recompense. On this CONFIDENCE we base our hope of future 
business. 
To repay you for the fine business you have given us in past years, 
we pledge ourselves to give you the VERY BEST that 
can be grown in nursery stock this year, and in 
years to come. We are not going to offer you a 
lot of ’’free stock,” for we know that ALL YOU WANT 
IS YOUR MONEY’S WORTH. Isn’t that so? And we’ll 
see that you get it! 
Our long experience in growing nursery stock 
can be yours for the asking. I want you to feel 
free at any time of the year to bring your fruit 
planting and fruit growing problems to me,» and 
I will help you to the best of my ability. I am 
here to serve Emlong customers in every way 
possible, and want to help you get the most out 
of your investment in nursery stock. 
We have many important things to 
tell you about NURSERY STOCK this 
year. READ ALL of the follow¬ 
ing pages in this book— it • 
will be time well spent. 
Sincerely yours.
