For 44 years we have been selling high qual 
ity nursery stock by mail. Our constant aim 
has been to give the customer just a little 
more than a square deal. We have ap¬ 
plied the Golden Rule to our deal 
ings with all our customers and 
our steady growth through 
these years is a ready 
testimony to our fair 
dealing. 
Nursery stock grown right, dug 
right, packed right, shipped 
right, planted right, cared 
for right, cannot help but 
grow right. We take every 
care to see that our stock 
is properly grown, dug, 
packed, and shipped. 
The care of it upon 
arrival is up to you. 
For your guidance and 
assistance we have 
endeavored to place 
helpful hints 
throughout this 
book. We espe¬ 
cially call your 
attention to 
pages 62 and 
63. These in¬ 
structions, if 
f o I lowed, 
will help 
you over 
many of 
the rough 
spots in 
your desire 
to plant and 
grow successfully. 
Give your plants a 
chance to start. Many 
varieties are slow in starting 
in the spring. Report losses in 
June. 
All of our 
stock is 
rigidly in¬ 
spected by the 
State Depart¬ 
ment of Ento¬ 
mology semi-an¬ 
nually. In addition 
each plant must 
pass the rigid in¬ 
spection of our own 
packers, thus you are 
assured of getting only 
the best. During the rush 
of our busy season we, 
being only human, do occasionally make a mistake. We 
would appreciate your letting us know of any errors as 
soon as you have discovered them upon receiving your 
order. 
K^ude/i Se/uUce 
Remember, if you order from Krider we send full and 
complete planting instructions with each order. 
This is a service which makes it easy for even a novice 
to grow beautiful plants and flowers. 
Sometimes the nature of your order necessitates it be¬ 
ing shipped in more than one package. In that event 
instructions covering the particular types of plants con¬ 
tained therein will be sent with each package. 
WHY IT PAYS TO ORDER 
BY MAIL FROM KRIDER 
Our experienced help in growing and prop¬ 
agating insures strong, healthy plants with 
well-developed root systems that cannot fail 
to produce for you. 
Our soil, methods and facilities insure the 
stock planted, grown, dug, packed and shipped 
according to the latest approved methods to 
make it reach you in the best possible growing 
condition. 
Our hardy Northern-lndiana-grown stock 
must be of high quality or we could not ship 
thousands of orders to customers all over the 
world, year after year with complete success 
and satisfaction. We must have supreme con¬ 
fidence in our stock or we could not replace 
free. (See guarantee above) and you have a 
nursery with 43 years of service to back this 
up. 
Our complete line of nursery stock offers you a 
wider variety to select from than you can usually 
get at home. We grow our own stock on our own 
grounds of 420 acres. This enables us to give you 
freshly dug plants, full of pep and vigor and ready 
to grow for you. 
Order from Krider and be satisfied. 
f Uiii£ the. fllunA&iy 
We wish that it were possible for each one of 
you to visit the nursery and see for yourselves the 
acres and acres of growing shrubs, evergreens, 
roses, fruits, trees, perennials and ornamentals. 
We welcome visitors at all times. We have approx¬ 
imately 6 miles of driveways running to every 
corner of the nursery and you are welcome to drive 
to any part at any time. For large parties such as 
school classes, church groups, garden clubs, etc., 
we will provide a competent guide to accompany 
you through the grounds if notification is given in 
advance. 
A visit to a large nursery is a valuable aid in 
the study of any line of horticulture. 
Across the road from our offices we have con¬ 
structed the most diversified gardens in the coun¬ 
try. In these gardens you will find growing and 
blooming in their season practically every item 
shown in this book. We invite you to visit them 
at any time of the year and to inspect our nursery 
at your leisure. 
Read pages 62 and 63 carefully. 
They will help solve many of your 
planting problems.
