Please Notice

Being able to give personal attention of the propagating, grading and packing, we feel assured that all stock purchased of us will be delivered in the best possible condition, and will be found exactly as represented, as nearly as care and attention can make it.

Those wanting a large amount of stock should send list of what they V. ant for special prices.

AVe aim to raise the best stock, graded to the highest standard, strongly grown, well rooted and thriftyo

We think a satisfied customer is the best advertising medium.

We do not believe in the policy of replacing stock which dies after trans- planting from natural or other causes. Our experience in the past has proven that the practice of replacing free, has a tendency to encourage carelessness on the part of the planter and also to marring to some extent the friendly relationship that ought to exist between the nurseryman and the planter. The most scrupulous care is exercised in the handling of trees from the time of digging until packed for shipment. No chance for injury to stock before ship- ment is possible under our system. With proper care but few of our trees fail to grow.

Our iiorthern location is worthy of special mention. One of the great advantages so liberally bestowed upon us by nature is a lovely, cool and healthy climate; an atmosphere purified and tempered by the balmy breezes of Lake Erie, where fungus diseases are rarely found. The soil is rich loam of wonderful fertility, very rich in nitrogen, and underlaid with a porus clay subsoil, eminently adapted to the production of hardy trees, etc. These facts no doubt to some extent account for the uncommon vigor of our trees and plants when afterwards transplanted. Our stock always ripens up thoroughly in the fall and goes into winter without danger of being injured by. severe frost. A comparison will prove that our stock has not the willowy and watery soft growth of Southern or Western grown stock, which no doubt accounts in a measure for the large and increasing demand for our Northern grown stock. The wood is firm and hard, the bodies strong, while the roots have strong forcing power. Such trees cannot fail to make good and profitable orchards.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING.

We cannot urge too strongly the necessity of protecting the roots of trees and plants from the sun and wind. The failure of trees to start a vigorous growth after transplanting is often caused by too much exposure of the roots to the air or a lack of sufficient moisture about the roots while out of the ground; yet a healthy tree may be taken fresh from the ground where it grew, kept in the best possible condition, and when ptoperly transplanted die from some unknown cause. A feeble growth is usually caused by not having the ground in proper condition at the time of trans* planting, or by a lack of after- cultivation.

When the trees are received open the bundles and “heel in“ so that the mellow earth comes in contact with all the roots. If the ground has been properly prepared the holes need not be dug larger than is necessary to receive the roots in their natural position. If the trees are to be planted in sod land the holes should be four or »five feet in diameter and eight or ten inches deeper than is necessary to plant the tree, filling up with well-worked surface soil.

Before planting cut away all broken and bruised pieces of roots with a sloping cut from the underside, and shorten in the branches to one-third of last season’s growth. Work the fine soil in among the roots, and when well covered pack firmly. If the ground is dry use a bucketful of water to each tree. Fill the hole a little more than level full, leaving the surface loose. Never allow manure of any sort to come in con- tact with the roots.

Do not set the trees too deep; one or two inches deeper than they stood in the nursery row is deep enough.

The number of plants required for an acre at any given distance apart may be as certained by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by the number of square feet given to each plant, which is found by multipl3dng the distance between the rows by the distance between the plants in the row. For example: Plum trees planted 10 feet apart each way gpves each tree 100 square feet, or 435 trees per acre,
