WE RECOMMEND 
Express on any tree or shrub without a ball of 
earth (B. & B.). Seedlings, Transplants and 
Young Aristocrats must go by express or

Most of our shipments should take Second-Class 
rates, so check weight and rating when delivery 
is made. The delivery man often charges 
First Class in error. 
Kelsey 
Nursery Service 
1. We furnish high quality stock. Kelsey 
Nursery stock is grown where it grows 
best; always with regard to shipping con¬ 
venience. Of over twenty thousand acres 
of stock we select the nearest nursery 
growing the material of the quality and 
grade you want. 
2. We furnish our stock at the lowest 
prices made possible by mass production. 
Prices of nursery stock vary greatly. One 
nursery grows stock on land worth, say, 
$4,000 per acre. The stock is no better 
than at a nearby nursery where land is 
worth $400.00 per acre. We are, therefore, 
enabled to sell excellent stock at very low 
prices. 
3. We are an entirely responsible source 
of supply. Established Sixty Years ago, 
in 1878, we still have among our custom¬ 
ers many who have been patrons for forty 
years or more. In all our dealings we are 
always willing to make things right on any 
errors or just causes for complaint. 
4. Our Guarantee —Stock to be in good 
condition when furnished. We will, how¬ 
ever, replace any and all losses at half 
price. 
5. Scarce and rare varieties: Why look 
through a dozen nursery catalogs for 
them ? Send us your list and we will quote 
promptly. This Short Guide is necessarily 
confined to standard varieties, but with 
our facilities we can furnish almost any 
variety or size grown in the United States. 
6. The policy of this Company is to 
make and keep goodwill by careful and 
prompt service.
