Saue by Planting Nou! 
Stahelin’s Fresh Dug, Northern Grown 
Plants are Best for Every Location 
Issuing of this 1952 catalog finds us still in the same position 
as we were last year, i.e., constantly rising prices. We again 
urge our friends, who are interested in planting, to do so now! 
There have been no radical changes in prices of nursery stock 
since 1945, but now they have come and are going still higher, 
as long as present conditions exist. Of course, under these 
circumstances, you can expect your fruit to bring more money 
also. These higher costs will probably remove some items 
from the nursery line due to so-called “overhead” and if you 
are interested in planting anything this coming spring, we be- 
lieve it will save you considerably to do so. Our northern 
location will give you stock of unusual hardiness not found 
anywhere else. We can start to ship here about the 15th of 
March and our plants remain quite dormant until the middle - = fe pee a a ne 
of May. We guarantee safe delivery and will ship C.O.D. Pataes destroyrihent! 
if desired, with a 25% down payment. We ship no F, C. Stahelin 
storage stock, practically all plants being fresh dug. 
DONT WAIT TO ORDER 
Our customers have been very fine in the past few years in placing 
their orders early. Please remember that the shipping of strawberry, 
asparagus and that class of plants, depends entirely on weather 
conditions here. WE POSITIVELY DO NOT SHIP ANY STORAGE 
PLANTS. We will endeavor to fill your order as close to the time 
specified as we can, but if excessive rain or cold weather hits us at 
that time of the year, there may be a slight delay.
