WHY IT PAYS 
To Buy Nursery Stock 
from a Grower 
When you buy by mail direct 
from the nursery you are dealing 
with the grower. He best knows 
how to grow, dig, pack and ship. 
This means you will get no stor- 
age or store-held stock, and that 
your order will be shipped quick- 
ly and will reach you in the finest 
possible planting condition. All 
this is most important to you be- 
cause you want only stock that 
is most sure to give entire satis- 
faction and bring you the fruit, 
flowers and beauty that you ex- 
pect from your planting. 
Your satisfaction with such stock 
is bound to be greater. 
WHY MICHIGAN 
Grown Stock 
Is Better 
Michigan, and more particularly Berrien 
County, is known throughout the country 
as the home of fine nursery stock of all 
kinds. This is rightfully true because our 
combination of good soil and favorable 
climate here along Lake Michigan pro- 
duces exceptionally strong root systems 
and vigorous, hardy plants and trees. In 
addition to all these natural advantages, 
our Michigan Nursery Inspection Service 
—recognized as one of the most efficient— 
makes it certain that every item you get 
from us is free from injurious diseases and 
insects and perfectly healthy in every 
way. Fruit growers, the country over, know 
and prefer Michigan grown nursery stock.
