DEPENDABLE NURSERY STOCK 3 

Our 36th Year at Long Lake 
Thirty-six years is a long time in anybody’s life, and an even longer time in a 
business life. 
We could tell you much about our extensive acreages, our skilled plantsmen 
and landscape experts, and our unexcelled facilities for producing and handling 
top quality nursery stock. 
But more convincing yet, is the fact that during the many years we have been 
here at Long Lake, our business volume and our customer confidence have contin- 
ually grown until now we enjoy the distinction of being Hennepin County’s largest 
nursery and an outstanding leader in the field of nursery and landscape work and 
service.

but the best in materials and service.

IT’S A PARTNERSHIP! 
There must exist, between the Nurseryman and his customer, 
an unwritten contract. The Nurseryman must depend on the 
customer for proper treatment and maintenance of the stock 
after it leaves his hands. The customer must depend on the 
Nurservman to furnish vigorous stock that is hardy to the terri- 
tory. When both live up to the agreement both will be satisfied. 
_AND SO WE see to it that you will receive your stock in good, 
live growing condition, ready to do a good job of growing for 
you. In accordance with our printed guarantee, on Page 29, 
we assure you that the plants will start and give you a satis- 
factory growth the first season, PROVIDED THAT you do your 
part and handle, plant and maintain the plants properly. Nothing 
could be fairer. 
NOW IT’S UP TO YOU 
Nursery plants are living, growing things and must be treated 
as such. To do well they must receive the required care before 
and during planting. Afterwards they must be given at least the 
same maintenance (cultivation, etc.) that a farmer must give his 
crops if they are to grow and produce successfully. 
Actually all we, as nurservmen, can do is to furnish you with 
a plant in live, growing condition—‘full of pep and ready to go,” 
if given the right opportunities. 
SO NOW IT’S UP TO YOU. 
Given below are 15 important “Planting Dos.’ Please read

PLANTING INSURANCE POLICY 
15 PLANTING “DOS” 
For Dormant, Bare Root Stock 
1—Keep plants moist at all times. 
2—Protect roots from air, sun and wind. Don’t let 
them dry out even momentarily. 
3—Dig holes larger than the root spread. 
4—Use good rich soil around roots. 
5—If fertilizer is used, keep it away from the roots, 
use only moderate amounts. 
6—Set slightly deeper than the plant stood 
nursery row. 
in the 
7—Spread the roots well. 
8—Work soil carefully around and between the roots 
and firm well. 
9—Leave a slight depression for a water basin. 
10—Water thoroughly, “SOAK ‘’EM!” 
11—Water again the next day. 
12—Water once a week (unless nature provides) until 
well established (or in fall, until the ground freezes). 
13—PRUNE! Better to cut off too much than too little. 
In general, thin and head back so that from 1/3 to 
1/2 of the buds are removed. 
14—Leave soil loose and cultivated on top. 
15—Keep up cultivation of top soil. No farmer can 
grow good corn or potatoes unless he gives them 
good culture. The same is true of our plants.
