100^000 Satisfied Customers—In Every State in the 
Union Plant Our Hardy Stock—the Reasons are Simple 
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. 
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. 
We 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 Nurseries have been growers for over 
fifty years. We have farms with the best of soil; tractors, trucks, 
packing houses and everything necessary to grow and pack the 
finest kind of nursery stock. 
Many nurseries use at least five pages in their catalog to ad¬ 
vertise these qualifications, and to show the size of their business. 
This additional cost is passed on to the consumer through higher 
prices. 
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 receiving 
plants, trees, etc., that are first class, and up to grade in every 
respect—you will 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. 
On account of the long, severe drought, which we had here in the R. G. Whitten 
United States last summer, there is a very light supply of nursery 
stock in all sections. Therefore, there will be a small increase in price on some items. Times being 
better, and with a normal demand, there will not be half enough stock to go around. Be wise! Place 
your order early, take advantage of the special discounts, and have the satisfaction of knowing that 
your wants are reserved.
