LET’S TAKE A PICTURE VISIT 
TO EMLONG'S BIG NURSE 
Millions of healthy, hardy, strawberry plants, 
occupy over 400 acres. 
Hundreds of acres of husky raspberry plants, 
guaranteed disease-free. 
Nursery stock is a living, growing, field-made 
product. It must be expertly grown under prop¬ 
er conditions to give you absolute satisfaction! 
It will pay you to consider carefully the ad¬ 
vantages or disadvantages of the company 
with which you expect to deal before placing 
an order. 
Stock cattle that top the market, aid in main¬ 
taining fertile soil. 
Asparagus field four months after sowing 
seed. Mammoth white roots! 
The pictures on this page will give you a 
small glimpse of how we grow stock at Em- 
longs. Let Mr. Wm. (Bill) Adair, our propaga¬ 
tion specialist, tell why we can give you 
BETTER NURSERY STOCK THAN ANY OTHER 
NURSERY IN THE COUNTRY: 
"I have propagated nursery stock for over 
thirty years, for some of the largest nurseries 
in every part of this country. Nowhere else 
in the entire United States have I found such 
ideal natural advantages for growing EXCEL¬ 
LENT NURSERY STOCK as Emlong's farms 
afford! Here is the plant lover's Utopia! 
A field of Emlong Hydrangea shrubs, three 
months after setting cuttings. 
Chisel, drawn by 30-ton tractor, pulverizes soil 
18 inches deep. 
"The soil is the richest in the world, but light 
and well drained. (That's what makes long, 
husky, white roots). Rainfall is plentiful, cli¬ 
mate perfect, to make every cutting and seed¬ 
ling take hold quickly and make an abundant 
root and top growth. The brisk air from Lake 
Michigan is tempered just right in Fall and 
Winter to make plants healthy and hardy. 
Emlong-invented cultivators keep out weeds 
and conserve plant food. 
Evergreens stay bright green on Emlong soil. 
They are kept perfectly sheared. 
Shoulder-high cover crops plowed under to 
increase soil fertility. 
"We maintain several hundred stock cattle, 
and turn under hundreds of acres of cover 
crops annually to keep our soil at the peak of 
fertility. Special built machines work the soil 
to a depth of 18 inches to encourage long, 
sturdy root growth. It's good roots that make 
vigorous, rapid-growing, heavy-bearing plants 
and trees, that produce "A" grade fruit for 
many years! 
"All propagating stock is hand-set. All hoeing, 
grading, pruning and tying done by hand, by 
experts of long experience, because we want 
it done right. I know from experience that the 
stock we are growing will succeed anywhere 
on this continent. I traveled over the entire 
country last Summer and Fall, and assure you 
that there's no nursery stock anywhere that 
compares with Emlong's in Quality." 
Straight, well-branched, long-rooted young 
fruit trees. 
Constant spraying keeps our stock free from 
insects and diseases. 
Perennial flower plants thrive briskly on 
Emlong soil.
