The Right Time to Plant 
Plants and trees shown here can be planted in March, April and May. (Dormant 
trees and shrubs can be shipped earlier to southern states). Strawberry and perennial 
plants cannot be dug until our ground thaws, which is usually early April. Perennial 
flower plants, especially Mums, Dahlias, Gladiclus bulbs, thrive best in northern 
states if planting is delayed until late April or May. 
If in doubt, let us ship at proper time for your locality. Reserve orders early!

HONEST GRADES 
Emlong’s ‘/Pride-O-Mich.’’ Reg. Trade Mark fruit 
trees are graded according to standards established 
by the American Association of Nurserymen. Cali- 
per (diameter of trunk)—not circumference—is 
used in determining grade. The three main grades 
are 5/16 in., 7/16 in., and 9/16 in. caliper, with 
a few trees 11/16 in. up caliper. The height is not 
important. In Cherry, Plum and Pear trees branch- 
ing is not important. Height and branching varies 
in Peach, Pear, Cherry, etc. Therefore, caliper is 
the only fair way of grading most fruit trees.
