DEPENDABLE NURSERY STOCK 15 
DANNY SAYS: Hi Neighbor! 
“Neighbor,” because this little catalog goes to many of you in rural Henne- 
pin and adjacent counties—right ‘next door” to us—in our natural “trade 
territory.” 
So, now to you we say “Howdy, Neighbor! We’re your logical supplier of 
nursery plants from a geographical point of view (a map proves that) and 
logical also, we believe, from the point of view of quality, price and service. Read ‘em all 
How’s about we get together? We believe we can serve you to your advantage. 

We've just been reading over the catalogs we’ve issued since starting 
business here 31 years ago — and we don’t find anything we’ve said in them 
to be ashamed of. Maybe we haven’t gotten our share of “sucker business,” 
but, what is far more important, we get more than our share of repeat business. 
There is a reason!

COUNTER So why not enjoy all the intriguing and well colored enticements in the 
“far away” catalogs, and then decide to buy dependable, proven stock this 
“Ixnay” year ‘‘at home,” from us — your home nursery? 
“A '"GODSEND FOR MINNESOTA GARDENERS” 
—a quotation from the letter below. 
A few days ago the Minnetonka Publishing Co., publishers of Mr. Daniels’ new book, received 
the following letter from an enthusiastic West St. Paul gardener: 
"I truly believe your book a ‘Godsend’ for Minnesota Gardeners. Its price being very 
reasonable, and applying as it does strictly to our conditions, it is a ‘must’ for all Minnesota 
gardeners. I have referred to it repeatedly—especially when questioning the ‘hardiness’ 
mentioned in catalogs.” 
And the president of a leading Horticultural Society in Northern Minnesota wrote: 
“T think it is a book that sets forth the fundamental principles of home gardening 
and landscaping and is written in such a manner that even the amateur gardener can 
understand and benefit by it.” 
These letters are just two of a large numher of complimentary letters and book reviews that 
describe it as a ‘‘must’” for Northern gardeners. They are all on file in the publisher’s office. 
The libraries are full of horticultural books, but practically all of them 
are ‘‘written for the United States of America,” and much of what they 
say is not applicable to our ‘distinctly different’? mid-northwestern condi- 
tions. This book is “tailor-made” for the Northwest. Mr. H. J. Rahmlow, 
Books and Books Secretary of the Wisconsin State Horticultural Society, says in a letter to 
For All U.S.A. the publishers: 
“On looking through the book I am impressed with the accuracy of the information 
under northern conditions. That is something we cannot say about so many books on 
gardening, and of course, that is the reason why books published for national circulation 
are often of so little value for certain sections of the country.” 

Maybe the book is not so much to look at, but approximately 50,000 
words—a complete, practical “Short Course’”’ in Horticulture—an education 
in itself, that sells for $1.00 can’t be put up with the fanciest ‘‘trimmings”’ 
at that low cost. 
Of course the publishers could “dress it up” (larger type, more space, 
fancy paper and binding, etc.) and they’d have a two or three dollar book, 
but the $1.00 price was decided on to keep it in easy reach of everyone. 
As Dr. A. N. Wilcox, of the Division of Horticulture of the University of An Education 
Minnesota, says in the November ‘Minnesota Horticulturist’’: At Home 

“For one dollar one can buy Franc Daniels’ ‘Live At Home and Like It,’ an informative 
little book on Horticulture under Minnesota conditions. It is for the sort of person who 
toh iok a box of candy for the goodness of the contents rather than for the fanciness of 
e box.’ 
We’re talking about the book here, not only because we believe it is truly worth while, but 
because we want you to have success with the plants you buy from us, and we know that if 
anyone follows the cultural directions and suggestions in the book, he should have success.
