Deciduous Fruits for Home and Commercial Growing 
A Selected Assortment of the Better Known Varieties 
We exercise the greatest care to furnish only trees in first class condition. If they do not appear to be satisfactory 
to the purchaser when delivered, they must not be accepted, but immediately returned. We cannot be held respon¬ 
sible for any trees or plants after they have been accepted by the purchaser and have left our hands. We invite 
intending purchasers to visit our nursery, corner 49th and Main Streets, and inspect our stock. We also give pur¬ 
chasers the privilege of selecting their own trees or plants. All our employees are practical men and have been in¬ 
structed to handle all trees and plants with great care, and also to furnish purchaser with any information he may 
wish in regard to the planting, care, etc. 
Deciduous Fruit Trees and Bushes are de¬ 
livered from January 1st to April 1st with 
the exception of those that are established in 
cans, which can be delievered every month of 
the year, such as Figs, Currants, Goose¬ 
berries, etc., which have been established in 
this way. 
Unless otherwise specified in our list that 
follows, all deciduous fruit trees or bushes
