To Our Patrons 
E wish to thank our patrons for the liberal patronage they 
have given us, especially those who have so kindly recommended 
us to their friends. Our sales of trees and plants the past 
year were the largest we ever had and we hope to still further 
increase our sales this year and in anticipation of a large 
demand, we have grown a larger stock of all kinds of fruit 
trees, particularly apple and peach trees, which have always been a specialty 
with us. 
To many who will receive this catalogue, we are entire strangers, but 
we hope it will be the means of making us better acquainted and lead to 
business relations which will be pleasant and profitable to us both. 
As many will receive this catalog for the first time, it is necessary to 
reprint much of the matter that has been in some of our former catalogs. 
It is not our ambition to do an immense wholesale nursery business, but 
rather to carry on a carefully conducted retail trade, making sure that every 
customer is well served and given full value for his money. 
We employ skilled and experienced help in digging, handling and packing 
our stock, giving it constant personal supervision, and every known precaution 
is taken to have all stock true to label, and handled and packed in such a 
way as to reach the customer in the best condition.
