le Plant Nursery Stack 
MAKE YOUR HOME MORE FRUITFUL AND BEAUTIFUL BY PLANTING 
WELCH-GROWN TREES AND PLANTS 

Dear Customers and Friends: 
oi more we present to you our annual catalog for 
1946. We still have an abundance of most stock for 
your home plantings. We picture some in their natura! size 
and color and we describe them accurately, so that in the 
quiet of your home, you and your family can select exactly 
what you need—how much waste land might be planted to 
vines and fruits; what ground has yet reached the limits 
of its possibilities. We get energy from the air we breathe, 
the water we drink, the fruit we eat and the sunshine we 
absorb. This certainly helps to stave off premature old age 
and self-caused ill health.

For sixty-four 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. Qur 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.
