BRIGHT FUTURE IN FRUIT GROWING 
Fruit growers must plant now to meet future consumer 
demand. Science, quick freezing, dehydration, and other 
forms of processed fruits promise a new era for the fruit 
producer. The great strides made in this field have opened 
a new world for the fruit grower and given him a new 
outlet for surpluses at a profit which in the past were a 
total loss 
‘ 
With the thought of declining production on one hand, 
and the increased consumption on the other, the fruit grow- 
er must prepare now to protect his production and income 
in the years ahead. War has brought many changes in the - 
American diet and taught our people many new ways to 
preserve health through eating all types of fruits and vege- 
tables, which they will not wish to forego in peacetime, and 
certainly the canner and processor are not not going to al- 
low the consumer to forget what he has learned. To the 
improvements in quick freeze, dehydration, extraction of 
necessary principles from fruit, we add new types of pack- 
aging designed to keep in Pee condition every type of 
food until consumed. 
The grower should first determine his market outlet for the 
type of fruit he will grow and the opportunity for disposal of 
any surplus. Then he should be sure his location and soil 
will support the type of fruit he wishes to grow without ex- 
cessive production cost. And last, but not least, buy the 
best nursery stock available. Cheap nursery stock is expen- 
sive even if given to you. Select your nurseryman with the 
same care you do your banker or doctor. 
We have some varieties that are not shown in this list, 
and we solicit your orders for your full needs. If we do not 
have the particular variety wanted, we will send best sub- 
stitute, unless you specify that we not do this. This has 
“reference to small assorted orders. On commercial orders 
WE DO NOT SUBSTITUTE.
