2 FERNDALE NURSERY, ASKOV, MINNESOTA, 1951 
GREETINGS 
To our many customers we extend greetings and appreciation of past 
favors. It is a source of great satisfaction to us to realize that many of 
our customers who purchased plants from us 15 to 20 or more years ago 
are still among our steady customers and that they have felt justified in 
recommending our nursery to their friends. We wish to thank you very 
much for this “pat on the back.” 
It is a well known fact among horticulturists that northern grown plants 
and trees have a vigor and vitality not found in those grown farther south. 
Furthermore we offer only such varieties as we have found to be reasonably 
hardy in this territory. Our season opens late and we can supply dormant 
stock much later than southern growers. The careful planter will keep this 
in mind when placing orders. 
Askov is located about 50 miles south of Duluth on Minnesota state 
highway No. 23. Highway 23 is a Memorial highway, one of the most 
beautiful scenic highways in the state of Minnesota, a short cut between the 
Twin Cities and the Twin Ports. 
We extend a cordial invitation to all of you to visit the nursery when- 
ever convenient. We have enjoyed the many visits in the past and hope 
that you will come again. 
Yours very truly, 
FERNDALE NURSERY. 
Richard Laursen. 
Virgil Jensen. 
Mary Jane Jensen.
