This Catalog Is Our Invitation to You... 
to visit our nursery and greenhouse this spring, where you will find almost 
everything you can think of in the line of trees, shrubs, evergreens, fruit 
trees, perennials and vegetable and flowering plants. 
For the past 15 years a large proportion of our business has been 
handled on a “Cash and Carry” basis and we believe that the many thou- 
sand people who have visited our nursery during that time will agree that 
this method is much superior to the old methods of either having an agent 
sell you an order with his pretty pictures and high prices, or buying from 
a catalog of a distant nursery and not knowing what you are going to get 
until it arrives, and then usually being disappointed in the small plants 
you receive. 
When you wish to purchase some article there are several factors 
which will determine where you will make the purchase. These factors 
are: quality, price, convenience, opportunity of seeing the goods before 
making the purchase, a good assortment of goods from which to make 
your selection and the opportunity of obtaining reliable information about 
the goods in which you are interested. We present the following facts 
regarding the service we have to offer: 
QUALITY.—We have always endeavored to produce stock of the very best 
quality with respect to stockiness, size, hardiness and good root system. We are 
especially proud of our ornamental shrubs and we know that the very few nur- 
series producing as good shrubs as we do will charge you much more for them. 
PRICE.—Our prices are about one-half those charged by tree agents, and 
the only nurseries that can sell cheaper than we do are those farther south where 
they have cheap labor and a longer growing season—and produce stock that will 
not stand our cold winters. 
CONVENIENCE.—Our nursery is not much over an hour’s drive from any 
home where these catalogs are sent; there are men here to wait on you every week- 
day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and, if the stock you want is not already dug, we can 
soon get it ready for you. Please do not expect digging done on Sundays. 
SEEING WHAT YOU ARE GETTING.—Many of our customers tell us about 
having bought trees or shrubs from some distant nursery and being terribly dis- 
appointed in what they received. Come here and you see just what you are getting 
and you have a chance to compare the different sizes and select the one best adapted 
to your needs. 
A GOOD ASSORTMENT.—During the past forty-five years we have tried most 
every variety of tree, shrub and fruit that has been planted in this climate and if 
you do not find the variety in this catalog that you are interested in it is likely 
that we have discarded it for something better, or are not growing it in large enough 
quantities to pay to list it. 
RELIABLE INFORMATION.—One advantage you have in coming directly 
to our nursery is that you may ask questions about the care, growth and other 
matters pertaining to the varieties in which you are interested and they will be 
answered by men who have had years of experience in handling plants and trees.
