YOU Benefit 
By These Advantages! 
e PACKING HOUSE WITH REFRIGERATION is your assurance of plants 
arriving in A-1 condition as all of our nursery stock is fresh dug—precoo! in 
our spacious cooler—then shipped direct to you. 
So UP-TO-THE-MINUTE FARM EQUIPMENT assures you of getting only the 
finest fully matured plants, as our modern farm equipment enables us to get our 
nursery stock in the soil in proper planting season, giving it a lengthy growing 
season, in which to mature fully. 
@ WITH OUR LARGE SCALE IRRIGATION SYSTEM we are (even in drought 
seasons), always able to produce healthy, extra heavy rooted, quality stock for 
you. 
3 CROP ROTATION. Healthy, sturdy, northern grown nursery stock is the re- 
sult of our years ahead plan with definite crop rotation, and in conjunction with 
this we maintain a large herd of steers to produce the highest fertility, which in 
turn goes directly into the plants you receive from the Westhauser Nurseries. 
e 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 cur 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. 
In spite of rising prices, with the 
we are able to keep our costs at a bare min- 
We pass this savings on to you.
