STYLES CHANGE - The plant breeders of experiment stations keep giving us new 
and better fruits and flowers that push aside the older plants that have served their 
time. Burbank, Hansen, Haralson, Yeager, Leslie, Kerr and other plant breeders, with * Buclders 
a seeming wand of magic, have been bringing forth an array of youngsters that are of 
decided improvement over their parents. lhe best of these have a hardier constitution, of 
richer color, better quality and show a decided improvement over the old. It costs 
money and takes courage for a nurseryman to throw out the out-dated ones and prod- 
uce the new ones in quantity, and do it quickly. The Northwest Nursery Management Beautiful 
believes it owes this policy to its people whom it serves. We take pleasure and a bit 
of pride in helping to lift this northern area into an equal position in horticulture with Gardens " 
the states of the east and west. 
We here offer to our patrons a carefully selected list of the best varieties of both 
fruit trees and flowers. While bringing in the best of the new things we have kept 
the older ones that still deserve a place. 
The Uew aud Better Prutts 
Me A corn expert made the statement, “We have moved the corn belt 200 miles north in 
445 20 years thru improved varieties.” With equal truth and force we can say that the fruit 
RTHWEST belt has moved north 300 miles in the last 20 years. Today better apples are harvested 
a. in southern Manitoba than in Central South Dakota 20 years ago. The Northwest 
NURSERY Nursery Company hes watched and tested the new fruits as they appear at fruit breed- 
dat hak ing stations. We here offer some of them for first time, the best of the new fruits. To- 
co. day we have reached the time when the farmer can safely plant a commercial orchard 
with confidence, knowing he will sell his product inahighpriced consumers market at 
fully double prices received by Pacific Coast growers.

We offer in the following pages, a carefully selected list of the best of fruits for
