Shipping Facilities 
Our shipping facilities are all that could be 
wished for. We have our own private track con- 
necting with the C. & N. W. Ry., over which cars 
are run into the packing shed for loading. We 
also have transfer facilities to the C., M. & St. P. 
and the Rock Island is only a short distance from 
our plant which enables us to route shipments 
for quick delivery in any direction. 
Seed Department 
Our Seed Department, which was established 
about twenty-five years ago has grown steadily 
every year and now “Cashman’s Seeds of Quality” 
are known over a wide territcry throughout Min- 
nesota and the Dakotas. We aim at all times to 
handle only the best of varieties of tested seeds 
for this locality and you are safeguarding your 
ewn interests by ordering your seeds ‘from us. 
In this department we also handle a very complete 
line of poultry supplies, insecticides and fungi- 
cides. If you do not receive our spring catalog 
and price list, drop us a card and we will gladly 
mail you one. It contains a list of all our new 
specialties in flower and garden seeds as well as 
much other information which will be of interest. 
Ready about January 1 of each year. 
Service Departments 
In order to build a plant of this size up to a 
high standard of efficiency we find it necessary 
to maintain several service departments including 
garage and machine shop, where our fifty or 
more cars and trucks are taken care of, black- 
smith shop, carpenter 
and ‘wagon shop, box fac- 
tory, etc. ‘We also oper- 
ate our own printing of- 
fice equipped with up to 
date presses, type and 
machinery, where all our 
catalogs, circulars, sta- 
tionery, are turned out. 
Labor Shortage 
The past year has el- 
iminated all younger men 
from our force. We are 
forced to operate with a 
small crew and in a big 
nursery it means plant- 
ing less trees and more 
field crops. Demand for 
nursery stock has _in- 
creased more than double. 
Many items are already 
Visitors Always Welcome 
No pen picture can possibly give the reader a 
comprehensive idea of the large scale upon which 
this business is carried on. We are pleased at all 
times to have our friends and customers call and 
look over the many different departments and will 
try our best to make you welcome. In the sum- 
mer you will have an opportunity of seeing mil- 
lions and millions of trees, shrubs and plants in 
all stages of propagation. 
Leave a Monument 
Each home builder is entitled to some recogni- 
tion for the good that he has accomplished in this 
life—a reminder to those who come after us that 
there once lived on that parcel of land a man or 
woman who had done something for posterity. 
Monuments are erected to mark our last resting 
place. Why not leave a monument that is more 
lasting and tells the story far better than granite 
or stone? Such can be accomplished through the 
planting of some of our long lived beautiful trees 
such as the American Elm, Colorado Blue Sprure, 
Black Hills Spruce and many others. If good 
northern trees are selected, and planted on heavy 
soil, the life of such trees is said to be two hun- 
dred years or more. Why not select that living 
monument this Spring, plant it yourself, care for 
it, and protect it during the years that it needs 
pro-ection? If given a proper start, it will tell 
the story of the part that you had in its exist- 
ence, and will be a joy and comfort during your 
days, and a splendid monument to you years 
after you are gone.
