Descriptive catalog /

Abstract

In issuing this Catalog it has been our intention to describe the different varieties and kinds of fruit as they are found in this climate. Many varieties successfully grown in the extreme north and east are a complete failure here, and with our many years observation and experience we hope to aid our customers in the selection of varieties that will prove satisfactory in all respects. We do not rely upon the "ready made" catalog that is frequently used, but prefer to describe the different varieties as we find them. We know of no other location where all sorts of Nursery Stock can be more successfully grown than here, as our land and climate seem particularly adapted to growing fine, well-rooted, smooth and healthy trees of all kinds. We wish to thank our many customers who have made the past years prosperous ones for us, and to assure them, as well as others who may be interested, that we shall continue to deliver only goods of the very best quality. NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS QUALITY and PRICE: While you will find our prices very low, we do not sacrifice the quality. We pride ourselves that none of our competitors deliver better stock than we do. MAIL ORDERS: In ordering by mail, give plainly your postoffice and also point to which you want stock shipped.

TIME OF SHIPMENT: This depends very much upon the season. Trees cannot be delivered in the fall until ripened by frost. Customers' interest and curs are mutual in this respect.

TRUE TO NAME: We are very careful about labeling and packing, but should any mistake occur and stock prove untrue to name, we will be liable for amount originally paid for said stock, or replace same free of charge. Orders are sold on these conditions. CLAIMS: If for any reason there is something in your order that is not entirely satisfactory, kindly notify us at once. We expect to sell goods in the same localities year after year, and to do this we must have satisfied customers SHIPPING FACILITIES: We have the Santa Fe, Southern Kansas, Frisco and Missouri Pacific railways. Trains in all directions daily. No city in the west has better shipping facilities. PROPAGATION: We secure our scions and buds from thrifty, bearing trees. In this way we not only know absolutely that our trees will be true to name, but that they will produce good crops of fruit of high quality. This feature should not be overlooked.
