OUR BETTER NORTHERN GROWN NURSERY 
STOCK—AND NEW FRUITS FOR THE NORTH¬ 
WEST OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE 
Never in our history have we offered a better selection of hardy Fruits and 
Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Plants and Vines—the very choicest new Fruits 
and Berries developed by the Experiment Stations of the Northwest may be 
had at prices within reach of all. Even the Government is ready to loan money 
to improve property with nursery stock. It’s the chance of a lifetime to 
beautify your place—to plan that outdoor living room—to improve the land¬ 
scape or set out that long-desired orchard and berry patch. 
WE HELP YOU PLAN 
If uncertain what to plant, let us help you plan. Tell how much you feel 
like investing and you will be surprised at the wonderful collection of Trees 
and Shrubs just a few dollars will buy, and the great improvement it will make 
to your property. 
Minnesota grown Nursery Stock must be hardy. It does cost more to pro¬ 
duce it here, therefore do not compare our quotations with Iowa or Nebraska 
grown stock. Plant for the future, pur “Fair Play Guarantee’’ protects you. 
LANDSCAPE PLANS 
We make no charge for suggestions what to plant, however, if a detailed 
plan is wanted, drawn to scale by our expert landscape draftsman, send us 
a remittance of $2.00 to cover a complete 
plan with full instructions. The $2.00 
we request is to confine our efforts to 
those who are really interested and the 
$2.00 will be refunded on any purchase 
of nursery stock amounting to $15.00 or 
over. 
Send for a landscape chart on which to 
make a rough drawing of your place and 
present plantings, buildings, etc. It will 
be sent for 2c to cover postage. No plant¬ 
ing plan can be made after March 15th 
by our Landscape Dept. 
SHIPPING SEASON 
As a rule we ship from about March 
15th, throughout April and May. All 
items are securely packed and guaranteed 
to reach destination in good growing 
condition. Instructions for care and 
planting accompany each order. 
GOVERNMENT AUTHORIZES LOANS FOR 
NURSERY STOCK PURCHASES 
Roger Steffan, Director of Modernizing Credit, Federal 
Housing Bureau, writes: 
“Loans used to purchase ornamental plantings and 
landscaping are eligible for insurance. Limitation 
is that they must be permanent improvements upon 
real property.’’ 
This means that the Governmental approval has been 
placed upon loans by banks to small home owners for the 
purchase and planting of permanent, hardy nursery items, 
on the same basis as loans for dwelling repairs and im¬ 
provements. 
No better investment could be made to increase the 
value of your property. See your local banker and get 
the benefit of this offer. 
SEND PART REMITTANCE ONLY 
Make your selections now, so the best specimens may be reserved 
for your order. Don’t wait until the planting season is at hand. Send 
us only one-third of the amount due with the order—balance can be 
paid at shipping time. 
Note: Owing to the great expense of handling and packing nursery 
items, we cannot accept orders for Trees, Shrubs or Plants totalling less 
than 60c. 
PARCEL POST SHIPMENTS 
Allow plenty of postage to cover weight of stock and packing ma¬ 
terial. Any over-payment will be refunded. 
Trees larger than 4-5 ft. will require severe trimming if sent by 
parcels post. For this reason we recommend express shipments. 
We reserve the right to ship the most practical way. 
OUR FAIR PLAY GUARANTEE 
All of our Nursery Stock carries the Minnesota Inspection Cer¬ 
tificate and is guaranteed true to name and in good growing 
condition. If for any reason you do not find everything just as 
represented, notify us at once and we will order shipment re¬ 
turned, refund your money, or replace the items without charge. 
Any tree or plant that dies the first growing season we will 
replace at half the catalog price, the following spring. Cus¬ 
tomers must report such losses not later than October 15th fol¬ 
lowing date of purchase. 
We cannot be responsible for losses other than the above.
