Dear Friends and Customers: 
The growing of nursery stock is a highly specialized business 
which requires unlimited planning and experience. If growing 
young trees was as easy as fixing automobiles, there no doubt 
would be thousands of nurseries instead of only a few hundred in 
the United States. In my 36 years of experience as an outstanding 
nurseryman, I have grown thousands upon thousands of trees of 
which some, now represent many of the largest and best orchards 
here in the East. 
It takes long years of experience to properly prepare the soil 
in which the trees are grown as well as selecting of good parent 
stock to produce vigorous young trees with long fibrous roots 
which is so essential to rapid growth after setting out in the or¬ 
chard. I have many things I would like to tell you, about how to 
plan, plant and take care of an orchard. Come to my nursery and 
see for yourself the ideal conditions under which my stock is 
grown. Also remember that my trees are grown in the leading 
fruit county of Pennsylvania and right in the center of the Adams 
County fruit belt. Certainly my trees should have what is desired, 
from growing in this soil. 
Remember that when you buy from me you get the finest of 
trees direct from my nursery to you—no storage stock or jobbed 
lots as is often the case when you buy at so called cut prices. Fur¬ 
thermore our trees are dug by Diesel Power which insures a full 
root system. 
Yours for a thrifty orchard, 
Adams County Nursery & Fruit Farms
