RIPENING DATES 
With our descriptions of varieties, we’ve indicated the 
approximate ripening date at which fruit is ripe and 
ready to eat in Western New York. This date will vary 
with the season and in different sections of the East. The 
fruit may ripen a few days to a week earlier or later. 
SEND CASH WITH ORDER 
It is our cash with order—direct from nursery to planter 
—method of doing business that enables us to sell trees 
of the highest quality at such extremely low prices. Make 
remittances by post office or express money order, bank 
draft or registered letter. To large buyers, when satisfac- 
tory reference is given, we will ship C.O.D. provided one 
fourth the amount of order is sent in cash when order is 
placed. We cannot accept orders for less than $1.00. 
QUANTITY RATES 
Take advantage of our lower rates for quantity pur- 
chases. For less than 10 trees remit at each rate; 10 to 50 
trees of one sort such as Apples, varieties alike or as- 
sorted entitle you to the 10 rate. An order for 50 or more 
trees of one scrc, varieties alike or assorted, entitles 
you to the low 100 rate. 
HOW TO PLANT 
With every order we will send absolutely free a 
book which, by word and picture, will show just 
how to plant a tree or shrub. The instructions 
are clear, and if followed, your plants should 
grow and thrive. We send the 16-page Revised 
Booklet FREE with your order acknowledgment.

For the convenience of customers within driving dis- 
tance of Dansville we are open on Sundays during

It is with deep regret that we 
inform our friends that our 
son and brother, Lt. Edward 
T. Kelly, was killed in the 
crash of an Army airplane on 
April 27, 1945, in northern 
Texas. Edward (Tom) left 
Cornell University in his ju- 
nior year, 1940, to enter the 
Army Air Corps as a flying 
cadet. He was graduated from 
Kelly Field, Texas, with Class 
40G, November, 1940. At the 
time of his death he had served 
his country faithfully in this 
country and in India as an 
instructor and pilot in the 
United States Army Air Corps.
