To the Trade: 
\W/ are pleased to send you this copy. of our catalog. We 
carry a general line of nursery stock and you will find our 
prices very attractive. All stock is well grown and thrifty. 
Buying direct by mail is the easy way to order. Study this 
catalog and you will find a lot of interesting items and good 
helps. Then simply list down on the order sheet what you 
need and we will do the rest. We will see that you receive 
first class nursery stock, carefully dug, graded and packed. 
And remember every variety listed in this catalog is a se- 
lected, tested and approved variety. 
For sixty-three years we have been growing nursery stock, 
testing and fruiting thousands of varieties and discarding all 
but the very best. We do not try to sell you any variety that 
we, ourselves, would not plant. We have built up a good 
business on the confidence of our customers and many of 
these customers have become financially independent grow- 
ing fruits from our stock. The greatest cost to the customer is 
in preparing his land and caring for his trees after they are 
planted. So you cannot afford to waste your money on poor 
stock. Our stock is reliable and you take no risk in ordering 
from us. If you have a speculative hankering, try one of the 
most interesting speculations—planting fruit trees. We hon- 
estly believe that your dollars will bring you greater returns 
than any other investment that we know of. Welch's trees will 
give you your money's worth. 
You will lose no money by ordering from this catalog and 
your order will be appreciated. Get your order in early so 
that the stock may be reserved for you and sent to you at the 
proper planting time. Nature's time for getting things started 
is early spring, so co-operate with Nature. This means suc- 
cess in planting. We have many other varieties of stock not 
listed here and we will be glad to furnish prices when re- 
quested. We invite correspondence and will be pleased to 
quote you prices on large plantings. Come and see us-when 
you can. We are located in north Shenandoah, one block 
northwest of the Wabash Depot. Phone 112.
