So many customers cannot be wrong—they buy from us year after year, for they know 
our stock can be depended upon. Here are some of the reasons: 
We sell only the best hardy, Northern grown stock at lowest possible prices. 
We promise a fair and square deal to everyone—and make good our promise. 
We ship stock subject to examination before payment. 
R. W. Ackerman, 
WHY 
Can We Sell Fine Stock ^ 
at Such Low Prices * 
Because 
We sell direct from our catalog only— you have no 
agents’ commission to pay, 
W r e do not spend thousands of dollars on colored pic¬ 
tures in our catalog. We pass that saving on to you. 
We purchase no large advertising space—we depend 
largely upon our friends and customers to advertise our 
stock; the bulk of our new business comes from unso¬ 
licited patrons recommended by our satisfied customers. 
This shows confidence in the Whitten-Ackerman Nurseries, 
on which we base our hope of future business. 
The Whitten-Ackerman families have been in the nursery busi¬ 
ness for over fifty years. Our motto has always been, to give our 
customers big values; in other words, highest quality stock at the 
lowest possible price. 
We have had a good growing season this year, therefore have 
been able to produce all small fruit plants much cheaper than we 
did last year. Following our usual policy, we are passing this 
saving on to our customers through lower price. 
In looking over our catalog, you will find many real money- 
saving bargains. We wish to make clear that all stock in these 
bargains is the same High Quality stock offered at regular catalog 
rates. By placing your order with us, you will be sure of receiv- R- C. Whitten, 
ing plants, trees etc., that are first class, and up to grade in every 
respect—you w-ill find no spindly stock or culls offered in this catalog. For your protection, buy direct 
from our nursery and be assured of a nice lot of stock, and a square deal in every way. 
Note our extra discount for early orders as offered below. The money you save by ordering early, 
plus the satisfaction of having your needs reserved, should not be overlooked. 
We Aim to Tell You the Truth—We Are Farmers. Too. and Don’t
