78 YEARS of CONTINUOUS SERVICE 
Seventy-eight years ago Andrews Nursery Company was founded 
upon the belief that there was a market for well-graded, Northern 
Grown Nursery Stock—stock that was honestly represented and 
true to name. We have always striven to provide for our friends 
and customers only the best grades of the newest and best varieties 
of fruits, ornamental shrubs and perennials. 
Experience—Severe Climate—Good Soil 
Through heat and cold—from 40 below to 100 above—through 
good years and bad, our 78 years’ experience and 1200 acres of 
fertile Minnesota soil have been combined to produce planting stock 
you may depend upon to give you the good results that you desire. 
We wish to thank the thousands of planters who have so faithfully 
patronized us over the years—and if you are not yet one of them, 
to invite you to see for yourself how much Northern Grown nursery 
stock can mean to you and your gardening success. 
We hope that we may have the opportunity of supplying you with 
your planting requirements this spring and in that way help you 
to make your home more fruitful and beautiful. 
Most cordially yours, 
ANDREWS NURSERY CO. 
“eres “Proof Positive” 
of why some orchard trees yield better and are strong and 
vigorous while others are crippled failures. This is picture 
evidence to prove that Andrews Northern Rooted trees are 
far superior to common rooted trees. 
The pictures below show two root stocks from our 160-acre 
orchard where the test was made. We set 50 McIntosh 
apples propagated on our own hardy northern root stocks 
alternately with 50 trees propagated on common roots. Both 
lots of trees were the same size when planted and both re- 
ceived the same care through the 17 years until the pictures 
were taken. 
After 17 years our hardy Northern rooted trees were at least 
three times as large as those on common roots. Many of the 
common rooted trees had died, but few of the Northern. 
The common rooted weaklings had borne little fruit and were 
a financial loss, while the Northern rooted trees were strong 
and sturdy and had borne regular and profitable crops. 

This 17-year-old McIntosh was 
grafted on common root stocks. 
This 17-year-old McIntosh was 
grafted on our Special Northern 
These roots died completely, stocks. The hardy, sturdy root 
leaving the tree to exist on the anchors this tree securely in the 
tew “scion roots’’ above the ground. Result: vigorous growth 
sraft. Result: weak or stunted 
—heavy crops of fruit. 
owth—little or no fruit.

We Pay the Postage ! 
Yes, we pay the postage. No need for 
you to wonder how much the shipping 
charges are going to be. We pay the post- 
age—or express charges—on everything 
in this year’s catalog except for a very few 
items such as shade and ornamental trees, 
evergreens and the large quantities of 
raspberries. All the apples, plums, cher- 
ries, strawberries, bush fruits, roses, shrubs 
and perennials come prepaid for shipping

collect, provided it all can be shipped to- 
gether, but will include in your order some 
selected items that will be of greater value 
than the amount of the postage or express 
charges required for the prepaid items.
