WHY YOU SHOULD BUY NURSERY STOCK 
FROM A NURSERY 
The growing and handling of Nursery 

stock is a highly specialized job and requires ex- 
pert knowledge and training. Nursery stock is 
alive and perishable and must be handled under 
proper conditions in a suitable building. Our New 
Nursery storage and packing building is especially 
designed for this purpose. Our employees are 
trained Nurserymen and expert packers. This 
means our stock will not only live but will grow 
faster and give better results. 
WHY BRADLEY’S CAN FURNISH YOU SU- 
PERIOR QUALITY NURSERY STOCK AT LOW- 
ER PRICES than most Nurseries charge for just 
the ordinary stock: 
1st, we sell direct from the field to the nlantee 
2nd, 54 years of experience and the most mod- 
ern machinery, together with the ideal type of soil 
enables us to grow stock with plenty of strength 
and vitality at the lowest possible cost. , 
3rd, our employees are expert nurserymen with 
long experience and the most scientific training. 
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. 
Ath, OUR CATALOGUE, WHICH IS OUR- 
ONLY SALESMAN, is not expensive, as we group 
a number of our better fruits and flowers on the 
same page. In this way we are able to show our 
special, most select varieties in their natural size 
and color with but little extra expense. Perhaps 
it would be a little more convenient for you if we 
printed our entire catalog in four colors and gave 
the price and description on the same page with 
the illustration. However, this would involve a 
great deal of extra expense which would have to 
be added to the price of our stock. We believe the 
saving we pass along to you in lower prices will 
well pay for the time required to turn to the pages 
printed on cheaper paper and in only one color 
for the description and prices. 
Why Pay More When You Can Buy Better for Less!
