PLANTING TIM 
1946 



This Spring is the time to plant Berry Plants, 
Fruit Trees, Gardens, Roses, and Evergreens. 
Small fruit planted this Spring will bear next year. 
This is your only chance to have your own fruit 
next year. 
The shortage of fruit will continue for several 
years. You can help this shortage by planting a 
part of your garden or back yard to fruit. The 
quicker you get the trees and plants in the 
ground, the quicker they will produce. 
Planting time is short—Just three months: March, April, 
May. Get your orders in early, as the supply of Nursery 
goods is not large. 
THIS IS THE 55th YEAR OF THE ALPHA NURSERY. We 
have grown millions of trees and plants during this time and 
have gained much actual experience as to the GROWING, 
CARE AND HABITS OF EVERGREENS, TREES, ROSES and 
PLANTS suitable to our climate. 
This long experience gives assurance of better trees and 
plants, as most all our stock is grown in our fields here at 
ALPHA, ILLINOIS. 
This nursery is now in the hands of the second and third 
generations of WIRTS growing quality nursery stock. 
Fair dealings, and honest values have built a reputation 
for this firm which stands the acid test of time.
