To Our Friends 
and Customers: 
In this brief message to you there are just two or three 
things we want to say. One is that in these times it seems 
that the most sensible and most helpful thing for all of us 
to do is 1 do “business as usual.” In that way we can move 
along successfully and profitably for all. 
Another is that there is 
certain to be a big' increase 
in the use of delicious, 
healthful fruit both fresh and. 
canned, due to rapidly im¬ 
proving business in every line in cities and towns in 
every state. This means higher prices to the fruit 
grower and bigger profits to the man, who is on his 
toes and ready with a good crop. 
In nursery stock, more than in most things, good quality cannot be 
seen and confidence is the guide to where your order is placed. The 
fact that this is our 52nd successful year in the nursery business re¬ 
minds us forcibly of the splendid confidence our many customers have 
in us and makes us feel more strongly each year our obligation to 
give the finest quality at a reasonable price. 
Please feel free to write us at any time. Our years of experi¬ 
ence are yours to call on not only before but also after you have re¬ 
ceived your shipment. Again we ask for your order and know you will 
be fully satisfied in every way with our nursery stock and the service 
One more thing is that right in this catalog you 
can find everything you need to help you make 
greater profits from your fruit farm, or for making 
your fruit and flower garden more complete. We 
have selected only those varieties, both old and new, 
that have proven of outstanding value and generally 
satisfactory in all fruit sections, and are giving you the import¬ 
ant facts about each variety. Many new and better kinds are 
gradually replacing the old. Our soil and climate here in the heart of 
the Michigan Fruit Belt produces the finest of all kinds of nursery 
stock and the many customers who get their plants and trees from us 
year after year, prove that you, too, can depend on this better stock 
and our way of growing, grading and packing it to make you money. 
we give you.

FAIRFAX 
FAIRFAX —Early 
Leads All In Firmness and Quality 
Like Dorsett. Fairfax is a superior berry, particularly 
in firmness and flavor. Originated by U. S. D. A. in 
1925. Big profits to growers and rapidly increasing 
plant sales show that Fairfax is making good as one 
of the leading varieties. 
How Fairfax Differs From Dorsett 
1. Called the most deliciously flavored of all. 2. Even 
firmer berries. 3. Berries are larger. 4. Color dark red, 
turning darker after picking. 5. Does not make quite 
so many plants. 6. Not quite so productive as Dorsett 
but will average as good as Premier. 
WHICH TO PLANT? Both are wonderfully fine 
berries. Both are of superior size and flavor, making 
either desirable for home gardens. The lighter, more at¬ 
tractive color of Dorsett may make it more profitable for 
the general market. But the somewhat larger size and 
exceptional quality of Fairfax are to be considered. BE 
SURE TO PLANT SOME FAIRFAX THIS SPRING.
