DON’T WAIT TO ORDER 
Our customers were fine in placing their orders early last year, and 
we urge you again to do so. Stock is still scarce, many items can’t 
be sold in quantity until next season. We'll do our best to fill orders 
in full but we know that some are going to be disappointed if they 
order real late.

class of plants depends entirely on the weather. WE POSITIVELY 
DO NOT SHIP ANY STORAGE PLANTS. We'll fill your order as close

STAHELIN'S 
GROW THE FINEST 
TREES and PLANTS 
When the Stahelin Nursery was organized it was 
the declared purpose of the founders to produce 
the finest and the best nursery stock possible. In this 
purpose it has never wavered. For thirty years Stahelin’s have con- 
stantly improved and grown the best nursery stock that science could 
produce. Having done this so long and to such a high purpose it is not 
unusual that Stahelin’s nursery stock has come to stand extremely 
high among the growers of the United States. The grower who plants 
Stahelin’s nursery stock has definite assurance that he is enjoying 
the finest fruit available anywhere. From this high ideal we shall 
never change. Our location in a cold section makes our stock ex- 
tremely hardy. Our sandy loam soil produces a root system un- 
equalled anywhere in the country. Couple all of these facts together 
and you have a perfect combination. Climatic conditions, soil, and 
the fact that Stahelin’s policy of producing only the best assures you 
of the highest quality. 
CASH DISCOUNT 
O occsers received during January at the 
f prices quoted in this catalog, with cash in 
full enclosed, are subject to a 10% discount. This 
amount to be deducted from your remittance. Special

STAHELIN’S GUARANTEE 
All nursery stock you buy from Stahelin’s is guaranteed to 
arrive in first class condition, and be free from disease, if 
shipped by express or mail. We assume no responsibility for 
freight shipments. If for any reason you are not satisfied, we 
must be notified as soon as stock is received. As our nursery 
stock is guaranteed to arrive in a live condition, our responsi- 
bility ceases as soon as stock is planted, for we cannot be re- 
sponsible for weather or other conditions beyond our control. If 
through error, any stock proves untrue to name, it will be re- 
placed free of charge the following season. At no time are we 
responsible for more than the original cost of the stock. 

FALL SHIPMENTS 
We encourage the fall planting of nursery stock. Plants and 
trees are dormant then, and when warm weather comes in the 
spring your stock is ready to commence growing. Nursery 
stock can't be shipped until it has had some cold weather to 
harden it up, and fall shipments are usually made after the 
middle of October. NO DISCOUNT ON FALL ORDERS. 
C.0.D. ORDERS 
We can ship C.O.D. if order amounts to $3.00 or more at full 
catalog price, no discount allowed, but 10c on each dollar 
must be included with your order as a down payment. If order 
amounts to $3.00, send 30c with order; if $4.00, send 40c, etc. 
You may inspect express shipments before you pay. (Parcel 
Post not subject to examination.) If satisfactory, pay the agent 
the amount due.
