The Zilke Guarantee of Satisfaction 
We positively guarantee all plants and seeds sold by us to be State Inspected and 
apparently free from disease and insect pests. We also guarantee them true-to-name, 
and will replace, free of charge, any that may prove otherwise through possible error. 
We guarantee all plants, 
trees, shrubs, bulbs and seeds 
to reach you in good growing 
condition or will replace free of 
charge any stock that arrives 
in poor condition, if we are 
notified within five days after 
you receive the shipment. It 
is mutually agreed between our¬ 
selves and the customers that 
we shall not be liable for more 
than the original purchase 
price. 
We guarantee to replace any 
stock, free of charge, that does 
not live the first season, if you 
think it was the fault of the 
Rudolph H. Zilke, Jr. stock in any way, providing the Elmer H. Zilke 
complaint is received by us be¬ 
fore June 25th of the year planted. All that fails to live the first season, which is 
reported after June 25th, will be replaced at half price. It is impossible for us to 
consider any claims after Sept. 1st. 
Dear Friend Customer: 
As this is our* only salesman, we again take the pleasure in coming to 
you with this small catalog of big nursery bargains. We again offer you 
the highest quality hardy northern grown stock at wholesale prices. 
Through these annual catalogs and your business with us we feel acquaint¬ 
ed with you. Whether your order is for 10c or $10.00 it will receive our 
personal attention and you will get a square deal. 
You probably will receive a great number of catalogs this spring, 
listing many varieties of fruit of every description, but just remember 
that the Zilke Nursery is offering only the best of each class, the kinds 
that produce the most and best crops or fruits, that thrive and show the 
most natural disease resistance. Every plant, tree, shrub, bulb and seed 
that we offer is State inspected and free from disease. 
Varieties are an important consideration in planning either your 
fruit garden or your ornamental planting. Some of the old varieties are 
still in first rank, but many must give up their places to the newer and 
finer kinds. We urge you to give the Wayzata strawberry, Boysenberry 
and the new Blueberry plants a fair trial. We feel sure you will be more 
than pleased with the results. 
Here at the Zilke Nursery we utilize every known scientific method 
of selection, breeding, production and protection in shipment that will in¬ 
sure your getting perfect plants in perfect condition, with strong, fibrous 
roots for quick, sure growth. 
It will be our constant study in the future, as it has been in the past, 
to give perfect satisfaction to our old customers as well as our new ones 
who entrust their order with us. Our success, we feel confident, depends 
wholly on the satisfaction we may be able to give our customer friends. 
Yours very truly, 
ZILKE BROS. NURSERY.
