We  guarantee  all  trees  and  plants  to  be  true  to  name  and  in  good  condi- 
tion when  leaving  Nursery,  but  are  not  responsible  for  loss  of  life  due  to  im- 
proper pruning,  planting,  soil  conditions,  drought,  neglect  or  any  causes  over 
which  we  have  no  control. 


THE  PLANTING  SEASON— 

In  Spring,  soon  as  frost  is  out  and  continuing  usually  to  June  1st. 

In  Fall  generally  about  October  10th  and  continuing  until  the  ground  is 
frozen  hard,  except  for  Fall  planting  of  Evergreens  and  Perennials,  it  is 
best  to  plant  them  from  September  1st  to  October  15th. 


We  have  recently  purchased  an  80-acre  farm,  located  on  M-ll  and  Torch 
Lake,  between  Traverse  City  and  Charlevoix  and  overlooking  Grand  Traverse 
Bay.  We  will  grow  the  hardy  stock  there  and  in  a few  years  can  supply  you 
from  there  with  stock  for  your  Northern  cottage. 

Prices  quoted  in  this  list  are  for  the  best  quality  stock — Terms  are  cash.

EVERGREENS 

No  other  tree  or  plant  so  effective  in  land- 
scape planting  as  the  Evergreens.  For  the 
small  lawn  as  well  as  the  large,  there  being 
varieties  suitable  for  either. 

We  will  advise  you  in  their  arrangement. 

We  have  a splendid  assortment  in  various 
sizes,  but  as  our  sales  are  nearly  all  made  from 
our  grounds,  we  quote  no  prices,  but  assure  you 
the  same  is  as  reasonable  as  can  be  given  for 
good  stock,  but  do  not  expect  to  get  them  for 
the  price  of  forest  stock,  which  seldom  live. 

Our  Evergreens  are  all  two  and  three  times 
transplanted,  which  gives  them  an  abundance 
of  fiberous  roots.  They  are  carefully  dug  with 
ball  of  earth  and  tightly  burlapped  and  seldom 
does  one  die. 

The  worst  enemy  to  the  Evergreen  is  the  dog.
