“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 Northezn rooted trees were strong 
and sturdy and had borne regular and profitable crops. 

This 17-year-old McIntosh was 
grafted on common root stocks. 
These roots died completely, 
leaving the tree to exist on the 
few “scion roots’’ above the 
graft. Result: weak or stunted 
growth—little or no fruit. 


Seventy-nine 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 79 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, 
C. H. ANDREWS.
