Friendly Neighbors 
‘and Satisfied Customers 
A single-seated buggy bobbed vigorously down the muddy 
road, the horse picking its way cautiously through mud, slush 
and snow. With a light tug on the rein the driver guided the 
horse and rig into the tree-lined farm lane. A noisy collie 
danced and barked an excited welcome. 
The friendly welcome of the collie was matched only by the 
greeting of the farmer and his wife, who met John P. Andrews 
of Andrews Nursery at the door. They invited their guest in 
to join the family circle as an old friend. 
This was the foundation upon which the Andrews Nursery 
of Faribault, Minnesota, was built 77 years ago. Here was 
friendly, neighborly contact with expert advice and help to 
make the customer’s home more beautiful and his orchard and 
garden more fruitful. A basic principle since 1872, this friendly 
“Satisfied Customer” policy has been expanded by the An- 
drews family to serve many thousands of customers all over 
the United States. 
The “Satisfied Customer” policy was the result not only of 
good, live, true-to-name stock, but also of furnishing high 
quality fruits and berries, hardy enough to stand severe winter 
conditions. Much of the credit for developing these hardy 
varieties goes to the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm 
and a staff of diligent and patient scientific plant breeders. 
Working closely with Prof. W. H. Alderman, chief of the 
Division of Horticulture, University of Minnesota, and his 
staff, Andrews Nursery has propagated many new and hardy 
varieties on Andrews Hardy Northern Root Stocks. Thou- 
sands of these trees are now producing delicious fruits equal 
in quality to the nation’s best, and producing them in areas 
once considered outside the fruit-raising belt. \ 
In the future, Andrews Nursery will continue to propagate L 
new and promising varieties and offer them to the public in 
large numbers as quickly as possible. Andrews will continue 
to build satisfied customers with friendly service and highest 
quality nursery stock for your pleasure and profit.
