‘® HARDY NORTHERN CLIMATE. Our northern climate in the great Michigan Fruit Belt is ideal for growing thrifty, hardy 
nursery stock, being located so near Lake Michigan, which puts a damper on our winters, making the climate such that our 
nursery stock is practically dormant until late in spring. Bear in mind, Mr. Fruit Grower, plants that are dormant so late 
in the season have little foliage and carry well in transit, that is one of the reasons why our plants can be shipped long 
distances with the best of results. 
®croP ROTATION gives you the best at no extra cost. Healthy, sturdy, northern grown nursery stock is the result of our years 
ahead plan with definite crop rotation.
