RALPH R. EMLONG 
Owner and Manager 
I am proud to hand you this little catalog of BIG VALUES. 
It is OUT only salesman, and describes our stock truthfully. 
Herein we have offered our Genuine “PRIDE-O-MICH” 
(Reg. Trade Mark Brand) FRUIT TREES, FRUIT PLANTS 
and highest quality ornamental nursery stock. 
I do not try to sell cheap nursery stock. Neither do I get a 
high price for my stock. I OFFER YOU ONLY THE BEST 
THAT CAN BE GROWN, at a REASONABLE, HONEST- 
VALUE PRICE. If that’s what you want, let’s do business!

jobber or salesman to pay.

agents. Their stock is often handled and re-shipped 3 or 4 times before you 
receive it.) 
THE BEST THERE IS, goes to Emlong customers. We have every modern 
facility and ideal natural advantages for producing highest quality plants 
and trees.
