PREPAREDNESS 
Everybody is talking about preparedness—and its a good tiling. 
Not a few firms this Spring have their land ready for stocks—but 
have no stocks! They have been disappointed at the last moment in 
getting them. 
By placing your order now for next season, you will be prepared 
—not only to save in the advance in prices—but you will get the grade 
and quantity ordered at the time you want them. 
We will book orders now for any grade of Apple stocks or Japan 
Pear stocks, for delivery next Fall. 
Our grades will be satisfactory to you—we make them so. You 
take no risk in transportation—we guarantee that stocks will arrive 
at your station in perfect condition. 
Get out of the rut. Do not use inferior stocks because you can 
exchange something for them. Propagating stocks should be of the 
very best. We grow Apple and Pear stocks exclusively. We make 
no exchange, but give real value and satisfaction, with highest quality 
stocks. 
For immediate shipment we can furnish about 100,000 strong grade 
No. 1 Apple Seedlings, also 150,000 No. 2 and 100,000 No. 3. These 
are in perfect condition.
