Write us a letter 
stating what | 
and we will see to It 
that you get nice stock. 
Trees and plants that are made perfect. or nearly so, do not happen by chance. They are made 
perfect by painstaking, intelligent methods and persistent work, all of which takes, time and..ex- 
pense to bring about, particularly in this northern region where growth is not as*rapid as inthe 
sunny South. To provide you with stock that will withstand our severe climatic conditions your 
stock then must be grown in this northern region. Any tree or plant not adapted to our climate is 
dear at any price, so don’t be misled by cneap appealing catalog or bargain prices. We all know 
that we get just what we pay for and every intelligent person knows that stock shipped from the 
tender climates cannot possibly survive here in this northern area so it is always best to be sure 
you obtain hardy, northern grown, acclimated nursery stock ... AT CHRISTIANSON’S you 
can buy with confidence. Our nursery stock must measure up to the full value of your dollar. 
Our exchange must be equal and mutually satisfactory ...§ GOOD CUSTOMERS are the life 
blood of any business. That’s why we value ours so highly. We know that a Company can be 
judged by the customers it keeps. The fact that they continue to come back year after year, we 
feel, indicates that our efforts are not only successful but also appreciated ... Yes, you can EN- 
TRUST your planting problems'to CHRISTIANSON’S. 
As soon as this catalog is received, look over its contents, make up your order and send 
it in. We can always give your orders more of our personal attention if received early in 
the season and before the rush. We can then reserve the stock you want while our supply 
is still complete. Be sure to print your name and address plainly thus avoiding errors and 
delay. Give shipping instructions, whether by freight or express. When not instructed we 
will use our best judgment. Express is most desirable on small shipments and freight on 
bulky shipments.
