trees and plants grown the Emlong way will thrive anywhere in the temperate zone if transplanted at the 
proper time. 
We keep in touch with the latest scientific developments in growing and caring for nursery stock, 
working closely with our State Department of Agriculture, and also with the large chemical and insecticide 
_ companies, who run experiments here at our nursery. This enables us to grow better nursery stock more 
_ economically so that we can furnish our customers with top quality nursery stock at fair prices.

WE PAY POSTAGE ON MOST ITEMS 
You will please note that most items listed in our 1954 Spring Catalog are 
delivered to you postpaid, and are so listed. This saves you money. 
There are, however, some items that are too large to ship by parcel post, 
such as fruit trees and shade trees. There are items such as hedge plants 
and some varieties and quantities of berry plants that are listed at such a 
low price for the high quality of stock that we cannot afford to pay the ship- 
Ping charges. These items are shipped to you transportation charges collect. 
In some orders there are trees which must go by express, and also some 
stock which would ordinarily go by parcel post. In order to avoid making 
two separate shipments, we send the entire order by express. For this 
privilege we include extra stock which has a greater value than the amount 
of the extra transportation charges. When selecting this extra stock for you, 
we choose items that fit in with the other items on your order.

Bank, Benton Harbor, Michigan; Postmaster and Express Agent at
