Honest Grades 
Emlong’s exclusive ‘/Pride-O-Mich’’ Trade 
Mark Registered brand of Fruit Trees and 
Plants are graded according to standards 
established by the American Association 
of Nurserymen. These standards have 
long been accepted as the fairest way of 
grading. 
Caliper (diameter of trunk), determines 
the grade of fruit trees. The three main 
grades are 5/16”, 7/16" and 9/16” 
caliper, with a few measuring 11/16” up. 
The height of trees when planted is not 
important. Branching is not important in 
Cherry, Plum and Pear trees. Some va- 
rieties often grow more rapidly than 
others. Standard methods are also used 
in grading shrubs and rose bushes.
