OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee our stock to be of the best quality always, and to be de- 
livered in good condition. We are extremely careful in seeing that all 
plants and trees are correctly labeled and we hold ourselves prepared to 
replace, on satisfactory proof, all stock that may prove untrue to the de' 
scription under which it is sold, or, at our option, to refund the amount 
paid therefor, but we shall in no case be liable for any sum greater than the 
amount originally received for said nursery stock. 
INSPECTION 
Our nurseries are inspected by the state entomologist twice a year, as 
required by law, and we hold his certificate that our stock is free from in' 
jurious insects and contagious diseases. 
OUR NURSERY 
In the interests of ideal growing conditions our nurseries 
of more than 200 acres are located at Waterloo, Wisconsin, 
approximately 24 miles east of Madison, Wisconsin, 60 miles 
west of Milwaukee on Highway 19, and on the Chicago, 
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway. 
The location of our nurseries at Waterloo, Wisconsin, af¬ 
fords growing conditions that are ideal in developing stock 
particularly adapted to the climatic conditions of the North' 
west. The quality of soil found there is best suited to the 
healthiest possible conditions of growth, producing a 
solid, firm texture of wood with abundant fibrous roots 
so essential to successful transplanting, and enables us 
to offer the products of our nurseries in the firm con- 
fidence that they will give lasting satisfaction.

OUR PACKING AND SHIPPING FACILITIES 
We have the most modern buildings possessed by any nursery in the 
Northwest. Every tree, plant or shrub is packed under cover with wet 
moss or similar material, wrapped with water-proof paper and burlap, and 
then immediately shipped or delivered, thus insuring the minimum of 
exposure to the trees or plants and then prompt delivery. This is of great 
importance to the purchaser of nursery stock. We have experienced em¬ 
ployes who are thoroughly trained in the handling of our class of goods. 
Our many years’ experience in the handling of nursery products enables 
us to deliver stock that satisfies thousands of customers in all sections of 
the Northwest.
