SHIPPING SEASON 
We begin shipping orders in the fall as soon as stock is properly 
matured and dormant enough for transplanting. Shipping continues 
through fall and winter and early spring. We highly recommend EARLY 
PLANTING. If you get your plants out in fall or winter, they will be 
established when spring comes, and you will get better growth than 
you will from spring planting. However, you may safely plant through- 
out the winter and spring, whenever the ground is not frozen, and 
until actual growth starts in the spring. 



WE GROW THE TREES WE OFFER 
We are large growers of nursery stock, and take pride in the 
QUALITY of the stock we sell. We are determined to supply you 
with the very best trees and plants, up to grade, free of disease 
TRUE TO NAME, and at FAIR PRICES. VISITORS ARE ALWAYS 
WELCOME. 

HOW TO PLANT YOUR TREES 
Plant trees as soon as possible after arrival. However, if they 
arrive during a severe freeze, store the package in a cellar or tight 
room with NO HEAT until thawing weather. Then soak them in water 
for 1 or 2 hours. Try to have the holes ready before unpacking trees. 
Remove from package, one at a time, or if all are removed, place in 
water until you get them in the ground. DIG HOLES LARGE ENOUGH 
AND DEEP ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THE ROOTS WITHOUT 
14 
CRAMPING. Set in ground about 2 inches deeper than they grew in 
the nursery. Fill holes about two-thirds full of good top soil. SOAK 
THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. After water has thoroughly soaked in, 
finish filling hole with soil, pack lightly, and rewater. BY ALL.MEANS, 
DO NOT UNPACK YOUR TREES AND EXPOSE TO WIND AND SUN. 
THIS IS VERY INJURIOUS, AND THEY MAY DIE AS A RESULT. It is 
better not to fertilize trees UNTIL THE SECOND GROWING SEASON. 
ORDER NOW 
ORDER NOW! Do not wait until you are ready to plant. Frequently,

order NOW, and give date you want it shipped.
