BETTER 
BUILT 
TREES 
We do not offer 
to our customers 
the lighter grades 
of nursery stock 
as offered hy some 
mail-order con¬ 
cern s. 
We handle only 
heavy, properly 
headed, well bal¬ 
anced and well 
rooted stock such 
a3 we would plant 
ourselve s—the 
kind that is stur¬ 
dy, will grow 
readily and re¬ 
quires the mini¬ 
mum of shaping 
and training. 
We do not solicit 
parcel post orders 
«.iid it is not nec¬ 
essary that we 
ship the light 
grades. We do not 
bcilieve in thatt 
kind of stock. We 
feel that this poli¬ 
cy pleases our cus¬ 
tomers and has 
been a basis for 
our steadily in¬ 
creased patronage. 
We like to have 
customers' visit 
cur nurseries to 
see the pride we 
take in raising 
trees and plants. 
Ho expense or 
time is spared to 
produce the best 
and we invite 
compai'ison. 
Photograph of mail-order 3-4 feet apple tree and 
Marshalls specimen grade (5-6 feet). The small tree 
weighs 6 ounces and the Marshalls specimen tree 40 
ounces Notice that Marshalls tree is six and two- 
thirds times the size of the small tree. The value is 
proportionate. It takes more than height to indicate 
the value. The home planter wants a strong tree with 
head formed. 
LOST TIME IS EXPENSIVE 
A few cents extra for a tree at planting time to as¬ 
sure a planter of true-to-name stock properly trained 
and full of vigor, is a small investment compared to 
time, labor and expense to bring it to fruiting or orna¬ 
mental effect.
