A MESSAGE FROM 
Slaybaugh Bros. Nursery 
ay, YA 
Dear Fruit Growers and Friends: 
It gives us a genuine pleasure to place this catalog in your pos- 
session in order that you might become informed of our Quality 
Fruit Trees. However, you cannot fully appreciate how hardy they 
grow in our Nursery unless you actually see them in the Nursery 
rows. Therefore we give to you a special invitation to visit us and 
urge that you accept of it. When you see our trees, we believe you 
will agree that you have never seen any finer. 
Our trees compare with the best since no efforts were spared in 
growing them in a highly scientific manner through exercising the 
following precautions and research—(1) Careful selection of seed 
and seedlings, (2) Careful selection of the best adapted soil, (3) 
Analysis of the soil with addition of the lacking elements, (4) Reg- 
ular cultivation, (5) Timely spraying with recommended insecti- 
cides, (6) Careful selection of Budwood from young hardy bearing 
orchards of superior strains and (7) Consultation with extension 
specialists from Pennsylvania State College. 
We naturally are in the nursery business to grow and sell fruit 
trees but we have still a deeper interest in that they grow well for 
you. Our purpose and our aim is to grow finer quality fruit trees 
of superior strains and to deal honestly with our customers to as- 
sure them complete satisfaction with our trees and thus help make 
this our great nation more fruitful. 
If you are considering planting one tree or an orchard of many 
trees, we will appreciate an opportunity to serve you. 
Trust you will see fit to favor us with your business. 
Sincerely yours, 
SLAYBAUGH Bros. NURSERY
