Nurserymen for 
over fifty years 
A fine block of Apple trees in the nursery row. 
F OR over 50 years we have been prominent among the leaders in the nursery 
industry. During that time we have established an enviable record of “Square 
Business Dealings,” and have had the pleasure of serving countless customers, 
all of whom can purchase from us with the utmost confidence, as they know' from 
their past dealings w ith us that their order will not only be appreciated but that it 
will be filled carefully, correctly and w ith “Blue Ribbon” quality material. 
"Superior Quality” 
Our vast nurseries, consisting of several hundred 
acres, are managed by men whose years of experience 
qualify them as being experts in their line. Good soil, 
pedigreed parentage, shield type budding, scientific root 
and top pruning, liberal spacing in the nursery row, 
all go to produce “superior” nursery stock. Frequent 
transplanting in our nurseries establishes a strong, vigor¬ 
ous root system, which permits transplanting with a min¬ 
imum degree of shock, and a minimum interruption of 
natural growth. That is why it is possible for us to offer 
our customers the protection of our exceptionally liberal 
replacement guarantee—IT GROWS OR WE REPLACE 
IT FREE. 
Even though you may be located hundreds of miles 
away, you can enjoy the satisfaction and benefit of 
Brown Brothers “Superior” nursery material, as our 
stock is all packed under cover in a scientifically built, 
frost-proof cellar where the temperature remains uniform 
for about six months of the year, thereby assuring you of 
receiving your order in thoroughly fresh and ready-to- 
grow condition. The importance of this feature can 
hardly be over-estimated. It enables us to not only ship 
earlier than most nurserymen, but what is equally im¬ 
portant, we are able to furnish perfectly dormant stock 
for several weeks after other nurseries may be through 
shipping.
