When the Stahelin Nursery was organized it was the declared pur- 
pose 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 constantly improved and grown the best nursery 
stock that science could produce. It is a matter of the utmost regret 
to Stahelin’s that our capacity to grow~such fine nursery stock has 
as yet been unequalled to the demand for same, but if you will 
order now we believe your order can be filled and once you have 
received our stock you will find that your patience ‘has brought you 
a very rich reward. 
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 extremely hardy. Our sandy loam soil produces a root 
system unequalled 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.

Our customers have been very fine in the past few years in placing 
their orders early. Please remember that the shipping of strawberry, 
asparagus and that class of plants depends entirely on weather 
conditions here. WE POSITIVELY DO NOT SHIP ANY STORAGE 
PLANTS. We will endeavor to fill your order as close to the time 
specified as we can, but if excessive rain or cold weather hits us 
at that time of the year there may be a slight delay.

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.
