World’s Finest Breeding 
Good breeding is important in nursery stock. Good 
stock thrives more rapidly, bears quicker, and bears 
more A-Grade fruit. Emlong’s are surrounded by 
orchards bearing the finest up-to-date strains of 
fruits. From these orchards our experts cut buds from 
state-inspected trees which show the biggest and best 
fruit. We use the finest grade of understocks for 
budding. 



Our modern machinery for soil tillage, fertilization, 
spraying, irrigating, digging, assure you trees and 
plants with maximum bearing and blooming power. 
Grown in the Fruit Belt 
Both soil and climate are ideal for growing plants and trees, 
here in the great northern fruit belt. Stock is sturdy, hardy, and 
full of vitality. Stock is inspected twice in the field each year, 
and once again in the warehouse, by State Inspectors. Each ship- 
ment bears a copy of our state certificate, assuring you of re- 
ceiving disease-free stock.

sands of customers gain new customers for us every year. Last
