WHITTEN-ACKERMAN "WAY-AHEAD 
The selection of fruit trees for planting is a matter deserving great 
care and consideration. Be sure to determine the caliper, grade and 
height before ordering from any nursery. 
TRUTHFUL GRADING 
H ue/uf, to tfou 
We offer 3J4 to 4 and 4Vi to 5V 2 ft- heights. Some nurseries 
offer a 4 to 6 ft. grade or “specially selected," using small 
calipered 4 to 5 ft. trees, which are about the same as our 
smallest and cheapest trees. Don’t be fooled into paying a big 
price for a small tree. 
All of our stock is plainly graded and we furnish trees of 
larger caliper and greater height than those offered elsewhere at 
or near our prices. 
Quality Is Appreciated 
Our reputation for supplying quality stock at economical 
prices is established, and our policy of a square deal for every 
purchaser has been proven to the satisfaction of thousands of 
Whitten-Ackerman customers. Your next order entrusted to us 
will prove it to you as well. 
SUPER-SIZE FRUIT TREES 
THE BEST OBTAINABLE. YOU CAN'T BUY 
BETTER TREES ELSEWHERE AT ANY PRICE 
Other nurseries charge anywhere from $1.00 to $2.00 
each for trees no older, larger or better. Whitten- 
Ackerman Super-Size Fruit Trees are two years old, the 
pick of the crop. They caliper no less than 11/16 inch, 
and many considerably over an inch. They run 5 feet 
and up in height, depending entirely on the kind and va¬ 
riety, as some kinds are much larger growers than others. 
NOTE: 11/16 inch Selected Super- 
Size Peach Trees are one year old, but 
are the strongest growers in the nursery 
row. A two-year-old Peach tree is never 
sold by any nursery as they make such 
a growth the second year that it would 
be impossible to transplant a two-year- 
old tree. Order this large size tree which 
has more pep and vitality and be assured 
of a much more sturdy growth when 
planted in your garden or orchard.

Grading of AH Small Fruit Plants 
is just as important as the grading of 
trees. All small undersized plants are 
graded out of the number ones. Note 
three photographs of small fruit plants 
in different varieties. We are doing this 
to show you the root growth and how- 
plants should be graded. Red Raspberry 
transplants do not alw-ays have branches 
but they must have the caliper. Note 
photograph showing bunch of Premier 
strawberry plants, especially the large 
crowns and root growth; ruler shows 
actual size reduced to fit this page. All 
tip end plants are discarded, and 
this number one stock is fresh 
dug for your order. 
AH stock is graded by experts, 
grown on the best kind of up¬ 
land soil, grown for plants only, 
twice State inspected and certi¬ 
fied apparently free from disease. 
Graded stock is much better as 
you are then assured of the best 
plants which are full of pep and 
vigor. Beware of cheap stock 
grown and dug in a haphazard 
manner. Buy direct from a re¬ 
liable nursery — Whitten-Acker¬ 
man stock is grown and graded 
by experts and guaranteed to be 
as represented in the catalog and 
to reach you in good growing 
condition.
