Stahelins Quality Plants Will Give You 
The Start You Need 
For Profitable Fruit Production 
To you fine people who have been buying from us in 
the past, we again wish to say, “Hello.” 

A great many changes have been occurring since you 
received our last catalog. We have had a merry-go- 
round of rising prices, and this same condition applies 
to us, as well as to you. Yet, for about three years we 
have been able to keep our prices at the same point, 
and this season we are reducing prices on some items.
