Our Nurseries are National in scope, as we ship our Hardy 
Trees and Plants to every State in the U. S. Our Introductory 
Advertising Offers are broadcast in season over more than 50 
Radio Stations, reaching from coast to coast and are advertised 
in such papers as Better Homes and Gardens, Woman’s World, 
New York Times, etc. 
We are located in the “Blizzard Belt of Northern Iowa about 
15 miles south of the Minnesota State line, where we are subject 
to extremes in temperature as well as in conditions of moisture. 
During the winter we are subject to severe “Blizzards” that last 
from two to three days, with mercury sometimes as low as 40 
degrees below zero. During the summer we often have other ex¬ 
extremes, with temperature running up into the 90’s for days at 
a time, with moisture condition from severe drowth to being 
temporarily flooded. During the year we get a sample of about 
every kind of weather conditions that can be found between 
Maine and California and from Florida to the Canadian line. 
Our customers have found that our Flowers and Fruits grown 
under these great extremes in weather conditions, are full of 
vitality and easy to make grow in all parts of the U. S. Our growing 
costs are low as our nurseries are in the country and we have plen¬ 
ty of land and equipment to grow millions of trees and plants annually. 
SHIPPING SEASON. Our spring shipping season opens 
early in March and continues up to the last part of May We 
try to ship all orders to reach our customers at the best time to set our plants 
in their particular part of the country.
