We are Specialists in Everything
We Grow.

OUR BUSINESS

This is our sixteenth year in the tree
business. A good part of our time has been
spent in experimenting with trees, shrubs,
roses, bulbs, soils, fertilizers, etc.

If any of our friends or customers want
advice on anything pertaining to plants or
trees, just call on us and we will gladly
give you the best we have.

This is a very “rough and tumble” list,
but we hope you will pardon us as we are
exceedingly rushed and late getting ready
to begin digging.

We advise express shipments. We have
Wells Fargo and American.

Be sure to write your name very plain
and send cash with your order.

Thanking our customers, we are,
Respectfully,

SAM STOKES & SON.
