Contest No. I 


Here is an opportunity for some of our good friends to win substantial 
prizes with very little effort. 
We think we know why so many people plant Kelly’s Nursery Stock 
year after year, but we would like you to tell us in your own words. 
There may be reasons we have never thought of. 
Also we like to know what progress the trees, shrubs and plants we 
ship you make after you plant them. So we thought of this contest. 
It is really 2 CONTESTS in 1 
To enter this contest, all you need 
do is write a letter telling us in 50 
words or less “Why I Plant Kelly’s 
Nursery Stock.” You don’t need to 
send in any “box tops” or “soap 
wrappers.” Just tell us in a few 
words why you like our nursery 
stock. And look at these prizes! 
This is a photograph contest. Send 
in a snapshot of the best Kelly 
fruit tree, berry bush, shrub or 
plant you have. On the back of the 
picture note the variety, date plant- 
ed and any information regarding 
its care that you think will be of in- 
terest. Be sure that your name ap- 
pears on the picture, too. No pho- 
tographs will be returned. 

e Prizes will be awarded on the basis of 
originality and merit in the Letter Contest, 
and on the basis of the growth made by 
your tree, bush or shrub in the Photograph 
Contest. Decisions of the judges will be 
final. In the event of a tie, duplicate prizes 
will be awarded. 
All entries must be post-marked not later 
than Sept. 15th, 1948. But don’t wait until 
the last minute. Send your entry in early. 
Judges will be executives of our advertising 
agency, Baldwin, Bowers & Strachan, Inc., 
Buffalo, N. Y- 
Ibs
