A PORTION OF THE “C. & O.”” NURSERY FIELDS AND ORCHARDS EMBRACING THREE HUNDRED ACRES. 
WASHINGTON’S OLDEST 
= LARGEST NURSERY 
@ Since “horse and buggy” days 
in the year 1906, the C. G O. Nursery Co. has been continuously 
engaged in the propagation and growing of dependable trees and 
nursery products. 
Our Company took part in the beginning of the orchard in- 
dustry in the Wenatchee Valley. We have seen the annual fruit 
production of North Central Washington develop from 60 car- 
loads pcr y2ar to a peak production of approximately 20,000 
cars per year. C. GO. nursery grown trees have been the founda- 
tion for the major portion of these productive orchards. 
Through our long and close experience with the orchard and 
fruit industry we have an understanding of the planter’s prob- 
lems and requirements. We have kept abreast of the times in 
the development and propagation of outstanding, more profit- 
able fruit varieties.

Ideal G Crete —Rich, Volcanic Ash Soil. 
Conditions —Abundance of Controlled Moisture. 
Ages ago nature endowed North Central Washington with a 
priceless treasure in the form of a rich volcanic ash soil. 
Over 300 days of sunshine annually, a long growing season, 
an equable climate, plus modern irrigation—all combine to 
make our district ideal from a growing standpoint for the pro- 
duction of fine nursery stock. 
Along with these favorable conditions we have a background 
of long experience in the nursery business. The men who grow, 
pack, and ship our stock have a life-time experience in this 
business. 
Development of up-to-date modern fruit varieties and pro- 
duction of quality trees and plants is not a side-line with us— 
it is our life work.

TRUE ECONOMY 
IN TREE BUYING 
During the last several years in the nursery business—as in 
nearly all industries, there have been some chaotic price situa- 
tions. Nursery lists sometimes indicate a wide divergence be- 
tween prices asked for similar items. 
Sometimes there is a tendency to view the lowest quoted 
prices as a standard of value—and to feel that those nurseries 
quoting higher prices are charging exorbitantly. 
There is scarcely any business which offers such an oppor- 
tunity for the price cutter—and the irresponsible party—as the 
nursery business. 
Why? Because nursery stock is a not standardized product 
such as clothing, autos, etc. A planter just cannot know nor 
judge as to many important things about the nursery stock he 
buys. He must rely upon the honesty, integrity, ability and 
responsibility of his nurseryman. 
TIME is a factor in planting nursery stock that also determin2s 
values. Over a period of years the cost of a good tree—or shrub 
—represents only a few cents per year so far as actual purchase 
cost may be concerned. A good, fruitful tree quickly and im- 
measurably returns its first cost. But unreliable, or poor stock 
of inferior quality, that does not produce or has to be replanted 
is expensive from the standpoint of time alone. 
The reliable, established nurseryman is genuinely desirous of 
delivering good nursery values to his customers. Such is his 
best assurance of continuing in business. 
: Over the years we take pride in the fact that some of Amzrica’s 
finest orchards have been planted with C. G O. trees. During th2 
35 years we have been in business, nearly 100 nurseries in Cen- 
tral Washington have come and gone. 
It costs more money to produce top-quality nursery stock— 
but there’s no business of which we know where quality and 
dependability count for more than in this business.
