Intentional Omissions... 
We have intentionally omitted several varieties of 
fruits, trees and various plants from our catalog. We 
are listing those we have found hardy, productive 
and adapted to the Middle West. Careful trials and 
tests have not only been made in our fields but also 
by a number of our customers, which has enabled us 
to sort out the varieties best adapted for the terri- 
tory we serve. You will save time and money by 
planting varieties and kinds from our carefully se- 
lected list. Write us about varieties not listed.

Important 
Information 
for 
CUSTOMERS 
HOW TO PLAN T—We 
will use a combination tag 
on your shipment which 
will give you complete 
planting instructions. 
Open this tag and follow 
Instructions carefully. 

Care... 
Proper care during the season is just as important 
as proper planting. As soon as you have finished 
planting your fruit trees, wrap them with corn stalks 
as illustrated. This wrap- 
ping will protect the tender 
bark from sun scald, will 
eliminate borer infestation 
and will protect your trees 
from rabbits during the 
winter. 
You cultivate corn to ob- 
tain a crop; why not your 
orchard? Cultivation will 
keep the ground free from 
weeds; it will enable the 
soil to absorb the moisture 
when it rains and it will 
preserve this moisture. Re- 
member, it is better to plant 
a small orchard and take 
care of it than plant a large 
one and neglect it. 

Give your trees and plants room. If you crowd 
them they struggle against each other for existence 
and they starve for lack of moisture and nourish- 
ment. Give your fruit trees the same care and con- 
sideration you do other farm crops and you will grow 
them—and you will be repaid with an abundance of 
health-giving fruit. 
To Find Number of 
Plants Per Acre 
Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by 
the distance the plants are apart in the rows and the 
product will be the number of square feet for each 
plant, which, divided into the number of feet in an 
acre (43,560), will give you the number of plants re- 
quired per acre.
