Dear Fruit Grower: 
Prior to each planting season an effort is made to give you growers a prospective of the quality of the ‘Fruit 
Trees” which will be available. 
Our trees have made a good growth this summer and therefore they will compare with the best since the 
following points were observed in their propagation: (1) Selection of good seedlings, (2) Selection of Budwood 
from vigorous and healthy annual bearing stock of superior strains, (3) Timely spraying with recommended 
insecticides, (4) Regular cultivation, (5) Use of well balanced fertilizer and (6) Consultation with extension 
specialist from Pennsylvania State College. 
Many growers prefer the fall planting since the soil during the winter has time to become thoroughly settled 
about the roots while the top of the tree is dormant. When the first spring sunshine hits the transplanted tree, 
it is ready to start and does start right then. This gives the tree a full month or more of growth that the spring 
planted tree does not get. It gets its start before the ground has an opportunity to dry out which frequently 
happens following spring planting. 
Most of our business is done with folks who have recommended us to their friends who know from experi- 
ence what it means in extra benefits to plant Slaybaugh Bros. quality trees of superior strains. If you have noi 
purchased from us in the past and desire to check into our reliability, we refer you to Dr. John U. Ruef of 
Pennsylvania State College. In the event you are interested in the origin and description of any variety we 
shall be pleased to forward it. 
All orders are filled with freshly dug and accurately graded trees. Any tree that you give reasonable care 
and fails to live through the first summer will be replaced without charge. Our trees are not only guaranteed to 
grow but also guaranteed to be True-To-Name. 
We cannot accurately predict presently how great the demand will be for nursery stock, however, there 
are definite indications there will be a shortage. If you are contemplating planting this fall or next spring 
and desire to purchase your trees from us, it might be advisable to place your order at your earliest conven- 
ience to avoid disappointment. 
Special price quotations on a total order of 20 to 500 trees F.O.B. Aspers are as follows: Add 25c per tree for 
an order of less than 20 trees. No packing charges. Write for the special offer on an order of over 500 trees. 
Prices are based on present market conditions and are subject to change without notice.
