KELLOGG’S NURSERY

ANNOUNCEMENT

N PRESENTING this, our 55th Annual

Price List, we do so believing that our efforts in the past have been appreciated in endeavoring to supply our customers with nursery stock of the best quality and at prices as low as is commensurate with No. 1 stock.

We have to announce a change in the personnel of the firm, Mr. L. L. Kellogg hav- ing retired. The business will be conducted along the same lines as we have followed in the past, viz: selling direct to the planter. We employ no agents. Anyone who states he is acting as agent for us (unless he is known in the territory he works in) is a fraud. Send your order direct to a reliable old established firm and save a large com- mission from the middleman.

We offer a large stock of trees, plants, etc., of the best standard varieties, well grown and thrifty, handled and packed un- der cover, with no exposure to sun or wind. Packing is done by experienced hands under our personal supervision.

We guarantee goods to arrive at destina- tion in good order, after which our responsi- bility ceases.

We thank you for past favors and solicit your further orders, and all orders sent us will receive our most careful attention.

KELLOGG’S NURSERY, M. S. Kellogg, Prop.

GUARANTEE—We exercise the greatest care to have all stock true to name and grade and satisfactory in every way, but it is hereby agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that should any stock not prove true to name, on proper proof, we will replace it or refund the purchase price, but shall not be held for further damage.

CLAIMS—AlIl claims for shortage, errors, etc., must be made within five days of re- ceipt of stock, or same will not be allowed. Mistakes do occur; but we are always will- ing to do all we can to correct any errors for which we are responsible. But in mak- ing complaints be reasonable.

ORDERS are acknowledged at once upon receipt of same, and should you fail to re- ceive an answer in ten days write us again. Always give your name and address and write same very plainly; also give full ship- ping directions.

Order early before the assortments are broken and thereby avoid disappointment and possible delay.

Orders are shipped in rotation, as far as possible, and late ones must take their turn.

SUBSTITUTION—When any variety or grade is exhausted we reserve the right to substitute, or to put in a smaller grade of trees, unless otherwise stated in the order, but in this case the true name will always be on such stock, and full value sent if smaller grades are used. We furnish 6 at dozen, 50 at hundred and 500 at thousand rates, and allow an assortment of varieties.

TERMS —CASH with order or before shipment.

Plant with Care, and see that the earth is packed firmly about.the roots and that all trees planted are thoroughly wet down and well mulched. The ground should we well prepared before planting and given thor- ough cultivation afterwards.

On receipt of stock, dip roots in water and bury in moist ground, except straw- berry and raspberry plants, which should not be wet, but open the bundles and spread out, packing the soil firmly to the roots. All stock should be set out as soon as possible.

To parties wishing same, a short list of instructions in regard to planting and cul- tivation of ‘stock, spraying and formulas, will be mailed on request.

Any information not given in this list will be furnished on application.

PACKING CHARGES—Bales of less than 50 trees, 25c; 50 to 100 trees, 50c; 150 trees, 75c. Where more than 150 trees are order- ed they will have to be boxed, in which case no charge will be made for packing except the cost of boxing, as follows: 30 by 30 inch heads, $2.50; 24 by 24 inch, $2.00; 18 by 18 inch, $1.50; all 8 to 10 feet long. No charge for packing small fruit plants at the list price, or for cartage. We have United States and American Express Companies and C. & N. W. R. R.-and’C.; M..&. Staves R. Companies.

APPLE TREES.

In the propagation of this fruit we use as nearly all nurserymen do, the piece root graft, using a long cion and a_ short root. The experience of over half a century has demonstrated that such trees are better for the north than either whole root grafts or budded trees. When the long cion and short root is used the lower part of the cion (which is all below ground except the upper two inches) will nearly always start roots, and these being the same variety as the cion makes the tree hardier and longer lived. Our grafts are made here by experi- enced men under our personal direction.

Prices of grafts given on application.

STRAWBERRIES.

To this department we give special atten- tion and the plants we offer are equal to any grown, are carefully graded and no small, inferior ones sent out; they are fresh dug from new beds that have never fruited, and are shipped to our customers while in fresh, vigorous condition. They are not held in the packing house till half their vitality is gone. We ship in baskets or light boxes, and all plants are neatly trimmed and tied in bunches of 25. They are carefully packed )

20

ee... ree

and we guarantee them to arrive in good condition when shipped by express; we do not recommend freight shipments with this class of stock.

Those varieties which are strong growers and make a heavy stand of plants are more reliable than those which only make a moderate growth. When we prove a variety to be inferior to the standards it is dis- earded, and while all varieties may not suc- ceed the same as with us, we judge them by actual test in field culture grown with the object of marketing fruit at a profit.

We will furnish plants at the thousand rate in assortment of varieties not less than 250 of a variety. At the hundred rate we will furnish assortment not less than 25 of a variety. Special prices quoted on lots of 20,000 or more.

Plant two by four feet on thoroughly pre- pared ground, cultivate often and when you have a solid matted row two feet wide, re- strict the growth, (don’t let a weed grow) mulch in fall with straw or some coarse material free from weed seed, remove a part of it the following spring and place between the rows as mulch.

Varieties marked “Imp.” are imperfect in blossom and must be set with “Per.” per- fect flowering kinds.

Varieties marked * we especially recom- mend for general cultivation.

NOTICE—The prices below are for plants spring of 1909. To those needing plants the coming August or September we will quote prices after Aug. Ist.

We carry a stock of berry boxes and will quote prices on application.

Owing to the long continued and severe drouth the past summer, our stock of plants this season is limited; the stand is not more than one half as good as usual. Plants have gone into winter in fine shape, as we have had an abundant rainfall, but it came late in the season.

If you want the best plants, true to name, and properly handled, place your orders
