Our Company 
: As this book goes to press we are cele- 
brating our Seventy-First Anniversary—Sev- 
- enty-one years of tireless effort and service to 
thousands of customers throughout the Middle 
West, whose generous patronage has made this 
nursery an outstanding success. 
In 1875 Goe and Converse established a 
small fruit farm, growing berries for market 
; and selling what plants they could, as a side 
line. 

In 1886 J. M. Edwards and his two sons, Frank C., and Arthur J., also started in grow- 
ing fruit and selling plants. A few years later Frank C. Edwards established a place of his own. 
The three firms continued in business separately until 1902 when they incorporated as 
the Coe, Converse & Edwards Co. Beginning with a small patch of berries, we have increased 
our acreage until we are now using 100 acres, growing and handling a complete line of Fruit, 
Shade and Ornament Trees, Evergreens, Shrubs, Small Fruits, etc., in fact, everything found 
in a first class nursery. We are supplying thousands of customers each year with the mater- 
ial to make their home grounds beautiful and fruitful. 
All of the original operators of this firm are now gone, but the same thoughts of service 
and quality merchandise for our customers is still the aim of the men now operating the 
nursery. 
H. W. Riggert, now president of the company, has been associated with the nursery for 
the past twenty years. Harold C. Poyer, vice-president, is a recent member of the firm, and 
is in charge of our landscape activities. Laurence G. Holmes is secretary-treasurer. 
We are happy to place in your hands our most recent catalog. We have tried to put in 
this book the main varieties we consider practical and valuable for the home owners in this 
latitude, west of the Great Lakes.

have to offer.
