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 acquainted 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 insure 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 
be able to give our customer friends. Yours very truly, 
oe “ae tate ZILKE BROS. NURSERY.
