Again it is a real pleasure to send you our 
annual catalog of nursery stock. In this 1945 
book you will find the same good, proven 
varieties of fruit plants, fruit trees, roses, 
shrubs and flowers that we have always grown. 
There are several new kinds, too, that we have 
tested and you will find them well worth while. 
During the past two years many thousands 
of people in all parts of the country have 
planted berry plants and fruit trees who 
never grew fruit before. They have found 
how easy and how profitable it is to grow their 
own. On the commercial side, fruit never 
made greater profits than now. We believe 
that more people will want to keep planting 
fruit, both for the saving and satisfaction of 
having their own and for the profit they can 
make. When you plant nursery stock you put 
your money in the only commodity that does 
not depreciate in value, but increases in value 
from the time you get it. 
Strawberries produce a full crop the quick- 
est of all fruits—June bearing kinds in about 
12 months from planting; everbearing kinds 
this summer and fall. Raspberries, blackber- 
ries and Boysenberries bring their first crop 
the second season. Tree fruits bear for many 
years. A garden of small fruits and a few 
fruit trees will provide well for home use and 
will often make an extra cash crop. The cost 
of good fruit plants and trees is little indeed 
compared to the value of the fruit they will 
produce. 
This year we have our usual wide selection 
for you, but shortage of labor and a dry sum- 
mer growing season has cut the quantity below 
normal throughout the country. For this rea- 
son we do urge you to order just as early as 
possible while we have everything. 
Each year your orders are really appre- 
ciated and in return we do our best to supply 
you with the finest quality nursery stock—the 
same good quality that has been “Dependable 
Since 1889.” It is fully backed by our guar- 
antee. All is Michigan State inspected; in- 
spection certificate attached to every shipment. 
We are ready to help you at any time and 
want you to feel free to write us. 

PLEASE NOTE— 
Read “Instructions for Ordering” on back 
of order blank. They save time and avoid 
errors.
