EMLONG-GROWN \H THE 
ilEART OF THE GREAT 
NORTHERN FRUIT BELT 
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU 
Emiong's Trees and Plants are famed throughout the country for 
their big roots, quick growth, young bearing, heavy yields, and 
high quality fruit produced. We are right here in the heart of the 
great northern fruit belt, which gives us the advantage of being 
able to select the finest strains and varieties for you. Our in¬ 
formation comes direct from experienced fruit growers. ^'Bud- 
Selection" is something more than a fancy phrase at Emiong's. 
We are surrounded by millions of bearing fruit trees, from which 
our expert marks those showing the biggest crops of highest grade, 
brightest colored fruit. From these selected trees come the buds 
for our stock. The biggest grower in the fruit belt is best able to 
grow the quality trees and plants you wont. 
EMLONG'S FAMOUS "PERFECT-CIRCLE" ROOTS 
Selecting Apple Buds From a Bearing Tre^ 
This Emiong-grown Strawberry 
plant is full of "bearing-power." 
Nature and science combine to help us grow and handle trees and plants so 
that our customers get all the roots and all the life. We build our own modern 
machines for soil tillage, planting, cultivating, spraying, rain-making, digging, etc. 
It takes $100,000 worth of equipment to produce nursery stock the Emiong way. 
But, search where you may, there's no other spot in the world so naturally ideal 
for producing'quality nursery stock as here in the fruit belt on Emiong's farms. 
Soil is high, well-drained, very fertile—produc¬ 
ing our famous "perfect-circle" of bright, 
healthy, sturdy roots. Visiting nurserymen and 
growers exclaim in amazement: "Nowhere else 
have we ever seen roots like those!" Tempera¬ 
ture here in the fall is just right to bring the 
stock gradually to a completely dormant state 
and make it hardy. 
OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE 
Every Emiong Fruit tree is grown on choicest 
whole-root stock, which means full vitality and 
bearing power. Price is a matter of small import¬ 
ance in buying nursery stock. Think only of quality 
and dependability. Deal with a reliable grower who 
knows all about the product he offers you. It makes 
no difference whether you pay 1 5c or $2.50 for a tree, it is 
worthless if you cannot depend upon its bearing power. 
That's what you really pay for. Good breeding in fruit stock 
is very important. Plant first-class stock that will bring forth 
an abundance of A-Grade fruit. But remember— you can 
save money at Emiongs without skimping on quality. Read 
what some of our customers say on page 6.

IMPORTANT 
Our fruit tree buds are all 
cut from outstanding trees 
in the finest orchards in this 
Great Fruit Belt. We have 
millions of bearing trees from 
which to make our selection 
of buds. No other nursery 
offering a complete line of 
Fruit Trees has this advan¬ 
tage. Western Michigan fruit 
has nation-wide fame for 
delicious flavor, and rich 
color. These important fea¬ 
tures are bred into Emiong- 
grown trees.
