STAHELIN'S Michigan Grown 
FRUIT TREES and PLANTS 

Have Stronger Roots—Grow Fast 
For over thirty years Stahelin’s high quality trees and plants 

have made money for successful growers all over the country. oe 
And there's a good reason! Stahelin’s plants are grown in the F. C. Stahelin 
cold climate of southwest Michigan, famous as a producer of extra hardy Nursery stock. 
Our sandy loam, heavily fertilized every year, gives the plants heavy root systems that 
start growing as soon as you plant. Periodic inspections for disease and close super- 
vision of grading assure your receiving nothing but the highest quality plants. 
We are sure once you try Stahelin’s quality Nursery stock, you will never want any 
other. Look through this new 1950 catalog and place your order. It lists everything you 

need for profitable planting. If you would rather plant in the fall, keep the catalog and 
“lt place your order during the summer months or early fall. Plants will then be shipped 
as soon as they are ready to dig. We guarantee no price increase on fall orders. 
DONT WAIT TO ORDER 
Our customers have been very fine in the past few years in placing 
their orders early. Please remember that the shipping of strawberry, 
asparagus and that class of plants depends entirely on weather

FALL SHIPMENTS 
We encourage the fall planting of nursery stock. Plants and 
trees are dormant then, and when warm weather comes in the 
spring your stock is ready to commence growing. Nursery 
stock can't be shipped until it has had some cold weather to 
harden it up, and fall shipments are usually made after the 
middle of October. NO DISCOUNT ON FALL ORDERS. 
C.0.D. ORDERS 
We can ship C.O.D. if order amounts to $3.00 or more at full 
catalog price, no discount allowed, but 10c on each dollar 
must be included with your order as a down payment. If order 
amounts to $3.00, send 30c with order; if $4.00, send 40c, etc. 
You may inspect express shipments before you pay. (Parcel 
Post not subject to examination.) If satisfactory, pay the agent 
the amount due.
