Notice 
We will add to our list again this year Sour Cherries and 
Pear trees. These can be sold in the fruit growing sections 
of Minnesota and South Dakota. Careful salesmen will not 
sell Sour Cherry or Pear in Northern Minnesota or 
North Dakota, excepting perhaps in very well protected 
areas. Please note other items that are added to this year’s 
list. DO NOT SELL VARIETIES OR SIZES NOT 
LISTED. 
GUARANTEE: We guarantee to deliver all stock in 
live growing condition and replacements will be made at 
one-half price only. The half price will cover our cost 
and allow us to pay the salesman one-half commission on 
all replacements, which will be done, but salesmen are 
cautioned not to make replacements on trees that have 
not been properly taken care of, properly pruned when 
set and either mulched or cultivated. Trees planted and 
allowed to shift for themselves have less than a 50% 
chance to grow. Customers must be educated and im- 
pressed with the fact that trees can not be left to lay 
around before planting and must be planted and cared 
for very carefully the first two years. Afiter that they 
will take care of themselves with ordinary care. 
Salesmen should not neglect to advise every customer 
to throw his bundle into a tank of water so that the roots 
will be submerged and leave them there for at least 24 
hours and not more than 40 hours before planting. If 
this is done the trees will fill up with moisture and leaf 
out within a few days after planting. Also, salesmen 
should advise each customer to trim back the top, cut- 
ting off the majority of the limbs. Pruned trees start 
more readily and come into bearing at least 2 years 
earlier than trees un-pruned when set. Pruning is im- 
portant for all fruit trees and shade trees; Cut Leaf Birch, 
however, should not be pruned. 
Salesmen can advise truthfully this year that all nurs- 
ery stock will be extremely scarce and prices may ad- 
vance materially after sales get under way. We will not 
increase our prices if we can possibly help it, but will 
advise when varieties are entirely sold _ out. Nur- 
series can not expect to go out and buy additional stock 
after their own stock is exhausted for the reason 
it may not be available this year. The Cashman Nurs- 
eries have a fair supply and we know we are better fixed 
than most concerns in our supply of choice and hardy 
varieties of fruit, ornamental and shade trees. We will 
advise you from time to time with circular letters regard- 
ing sizes to sell. In the meantime, sell only what is 
listed in the price list and only sizes that are listed in the 
price list. Keep in touch with the office for information 
at all times and you can be assured that every assistance 
possible will be given you. The Cashman Nurseries 
reputation for delivering high quality will guarantee
