home-grown under our personal supervision. 
The climate here on Lake Michigan is perfect to 
give nursery stock a tong growing season and bring 
it gradually to a completely dormant state in the 
fall, making it hardy. Here in the world’s most 
famous fruit belt, we have access to the finest 
strains of quick-bearing, heavy-yielding, big-selling 
fruit trees, and these are the kind we bud for you. 
Nature and our scientific research combine to help 
us grow sturdy, hardy plants and trees. Soil is high, 
well drained, very fertile. No other spot in the 
world is so ideal as our 600 acres for producing our 
famous ‘’Perfect-Circle’’ roots, so amazing to nurs- 
erymen and orchardists. 
EMLONG’S ’’Pride-O-Mich” fruit trees are grown 
on choicest whole-root seedling stock, and are 
crammed full of bearing power and vitality.
