It Pays to 
Buy from Kelly's 
Our nursery stock has the reputation of being the Best that can 
be grown, and it is our aim to keep it up to the standard in every 
way. The BEST is always the CHEAPEST. It is not what you pay, 
but what you get, that makes the bargain. Every purchase will 
prove to you the value of buying stock from us. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee every tree or bush to be up to grade specified or 
better. We also guarantee arrival to customer in first class condition. 
If through delay or mishandling in transit, trees or bushes are not 
in first class condition on arrival, notify us immediately, and we will 
make prompt, satisfactory adjustment. Our trees are not sold by 
height only. We grade and sell our trees both by height and caliper, 
as we believe this is the only way of giving entire satisfaction to the 
planter. We strive to avoid mistakes, but should any stock prove un- 
true to name as sold, we agree, on proper proof, to replace stock, or 
refund purchase price. Our stock pleases or we cheerfully refund 
money advanced. 
HOW TO PLANT 
With every order we will send absolutely free a book which, by 
word and picture, will show just how to plant a tree or shrub. The 
instructions are clear, and if followed, your plants should grow 
and thrive. We send the 16-Page Revised Booklet FREE with 
your order acknowledgment. 
POLLINATION OF FRUIT TREES 
The value of pollination in the production of a fruit crop is now 
recognized. Although many varieties are self-fruitful and thus re- 
quire no pollination from another variety, experiments show they are 
greatly benefited by cross pollination. Necessarily because of the lack 
of space available, we are only able to give brief notes on this im- 
portant topic. For more detailed information, we suggest that you 
write to your State College or Experimental Station, the address of 
which we would be pleased to furnish on request. If you do not care 
to give attention to this detail, just write, stating the number of trees 
you wish to plant, and we will be pleased to be of service and suggest 
the best combinations.
