Facts You Should Kno^

To Snjoy Qro^ing Satisfaction

POSSIBLY we do not ask for orders as often or as urgently as we should in view of the fact that our stock, methods of handling, grading and packing merit the patronage of particular buyers. But we felt that people would read our catalog and come to the same conclusion as a prominent horticulturist who wrote us December 12, 1922 — “One can hardly

escape the conviction that a firm that puts out such a conservative and helpful catalog will back up its statements with reliable goods and genuine service.” We knew, too, that some people require a little time to plan their plantings and to de- cide what kinds, varieties and number to order. Some people do leave the selec- tion to us, for instance, a customer in Mexico mailed us a draft for $225.00 and told us to send him an assortment of our se- lection.

However, if you intend to plant this spring, we must remind you planting time is close at hand, and more important still is the fact that the longer you delay, the less are the chances of securing the varieties and sizes you prefer. The nurseryman cannot grow stock to order on short notice. He has to plan two, three or more years ahead. It is then impossible to know what people will want or to tell how many good trees or plants

will result from a given number prop- agated.

Furthermore, if we should give you a list now of the num- ber available in each size of each variety, it would be obsolete before it reached you. Therefore, we suggest that you order XX sizes, tell us whether we shall reserve or send larger or smaller sizes and also other varieties if necessary, adjusting prices accordingly.

Most buyers judge value by size in height, not realizing that some varieties are naturally smaller growers and that age must also be considered. It is apparent that a tree that grows a certain size in one season is better than one^ of the same variety that takes two years to attain that same size. Many also do not know or stop to think that most trees must have a good portion of the top cut off when transplanted and that what is left is the foundation of successful growth. We could grow our trees for height, grade and sell them by that standard and have a greater percent- age of the higher priced sizes. But we prefer to concentrate on developing good root sys- tems and trunks and grade them by a better standard of value — the diameter measuring a few inches above the ground. There will still be plenty of top to cut off and burn.

Our customers report satisfactory results with all sizes we offer from two-year ^ inch up (diameter) apple to one-year under 3-16 inch (diameter). As a rule commercial apple growers prefer one-year old trees but the buyer should not confuse one-year grafts whose root system is only one-year old, with

uur one-year trees whose roots have grown two seasons in our nursery. In January this year an Arkansas orchardist bought 100 of our one-year XXX apple trees and declared we had made a mistake and sent him trees two or three years old. There have been a num- ber of cases like that and some we know have come back to us for more trees. One customer wrote us: “Your peach trees are as large as others sell around here for two-year olds.’' Another customer ordered 3 to 5-16-inch (di- ameter) two to three foot trees and protested they were too small, but a year later he said they made good growth and he was glad he bought them. On the other hand, an Arkan- sas customer reports excellent results with about 1000 of our two-year XXXX apple trees that measured of an inch (diameter). Peo- ple who come into our office sometimes ask what is the best size peach tree to plant. We tell them our preference is for the middle sizes but when they see the trees they usually select the biggest. Then when they plant, they cut off and throw away most of the top, at least they should.

We shipped 2,000 strawberry plants to a Missouri customer April 6, 1922. He imme- diately wrote : “All the neighbors who saw them said they were the poorest plants they ever saw. Believe me, I will see that you lose many times that much in future business. I think your motto must be a big joke.”

January 27, 1923, he wrote “The percent- age of loss was next to nothing. I be- lieve now I like your method of sending out plants pretty

well. I now have a fine patch but will be in the market for more plants this spring if you will kindly send me price list.”

“In buying nursery stock the pur- chaser is utterly at the mercy of the seller. The same is true in the seeds- man^s business. In all commercial activities a reputation for trustworthi- ness is the most valuable of assets, but for the nurseryman and seedsman it is absolutely indispensable. Their goods must be bought on faith, and their rec- ords must indicate that faith is not misplace d.” — The Cleveland Plain Dealer, June 25, 1920.

Wherever you buy you must trust someone to give you a square deal, to send you true- to-name stock, in good condition, properly packed, free from injurious insects and dis- eases, and the number and sizes for which you pay. Few buyers can tell one variety from another or recognize such a common disease as crown-gall. We sold a carload of peach trees several years ago to a grower in North Carolina and they rejected a few trees on ac- count of crown-gall. However, they were not all galls, but an enlarged growth of the main root where it grew around a stone or a piece of a peach shell. They wrote us last year that our trees were the finest they ever planted.

You cannot enjoy “Growing Satisfaction” unless you receive first-class stock for trans- planting. It is apparent that the money, time and labor that an apple orchard requires be- fore it comes into profitable bearing will be thrown away if inferior trees are planted.

Unfoirtunately the average buyer does not know what makes a good tree, he doesn’t recognize crown-gall, hairy-root, nematodes, aphis, scale, etc., he cannot tell the varieties, nor the age, nor whether the tree was dug before fully matured, nor whether it is full of vitality.

True enough, every shipment must bear a certificate of inspection. But these certificates are issued by the State Inspection Depart- ments after examination of the stock in the field when it is impossible to know whether the roots are free from or infected with crown-gall, hairy-root, nematodes or aphis. In some states part or all stock is officially in- spected upon arrival. For instance, in Vir- ginia, in the Fall of 1920, and Spring of 1921, they inspected 163,799 apple trees and threw out as unfit to plant on account of crown- gall, 7,072 trees, about 4.3 per cent. In the year previous they threw out 1,000 out of one ship- ment of 2,500 apple trees and in the same ship- ment there were 1,200 peach trees that proved to be seedlings. The license permitting that nursery to ship into Virginia was cancelled. But suppose those trees had gone into a state where there was no such official inspection and to a man who couldn’t recognize crown- gall or seedling peach trees? Furthermore, who, even among experienced growers and horticulturists, can identify varieties or dis- tinguish vitality!

Imagine the temptation of a nurseryman to send the A-1 stock to strict inspection states and to work off the other kind on buyers who don’t know and who have no such protection.

And what would you do in a case like this ? Just the other day a so-called nur- seryman asked us to ship direct to his customer some Winesap apple trees and told us if we didn’t have them to send Stayman and label them Winesap. We would be afraid to do business with him. There are plenty of hon- est, capable nurserymen. But you know there are unscrupulous people in every line of busi- ness which makes it harder for the conscien- tious man.

Cancellations. When we receive an order, we reserve the items called for and maybe use up all we have in some sizes or varieties. Later in the season when it would be too late to sell this stock elsewhere, a cancellation would mean a total loss, for the trees and plants could not be held over to the next sea- son nor in most cases could they be trans- planted for sale the next year. It is of vital importance to plant when conditions are most favorable and most orders for spring shipment are wanted in a rush. Therefore, to give prompt service we must dig the stock we ex- pect to sell and hold it in our packing houses at the right degree of moisture and temper- ature.

Another important point. Our one-year ap- ple trees with two-year old roots (these are budded and the bud is dormant the first sea- son) must be dug and sold, for if they should be held for another season they would be too large, so much larger than our two-year grafted apple, that there would be no market

for them. You will possibly see some ‘‘ready to bear’’ or “bearing-age” trees offered for sale. This is impractical except in the case of a few trees for the home garden and then only if the trees have been transplanted and root pruned and the tops properly trained, which are quite different from trees held over in the field because the nurseryman could not sell them.

Transportation Charges. Whether prices quoted to you are f. o. b. nursery or transpor- tation prepaid, you know the cost of trans* portation is really paid by the consumer. If prices are made on a prepaid basis the nur- seryman has to add to his prices the average cost of transportation. In that case the cus- tomer near the nursery would really pay more than the actual transportation cost and the customer at the greater distance away would be paying less.

Replacements. If a nurseryman guarantees his stock to grow under penalty of replace- ment without charge it works a hardship on the conscientious, careful planter. There are many factors governing the growth of trees and plants over which the nurseryman, and even the grower, has no control. Somebody must pay the cost of such replacements. If it is the nurseryman he must either lose the value of the stock or must include it in his prices. This puts an unfair burden on the careful planter. If a buyer knows he will have to stand any loss from failures to grow, he is naturally careful to buy good stock and take good care of it.

Prices. Just a word about prices. Some charge more, others less, than we ask. We must have a reasonable profit in order to stay in business and continue to render genuine service. One horticulturist expresses the opinion of experienced growers as follows — “The original cost of the tree is of minor importance compared with its ultimate value. Pay enough to get the best and then refuse any not up to the standard.”

Rates. We have made it as easy as we know how for you to figure the cost of your order. We cannot understand why any nurseryman prints a hundred rate and then a foot-note ex- plaining that 25 trees (maybe 30 or 50) of a kind, (whether one or more varieties) will be sold at the 100 rate. Orders for say one apple tree are not profitable to us but we are glad to fill them as it gives us an opportunity to demonstrate the value of our stock.

We cannot insure your success but have tried to safeguard it as much as possible. A lady in New Jersey wrote us on January 30, 1923, as follows :

‘7 received your catalog and enjoyed it very much. If all catalogs were to give as much advice, more would plant fruit and flowers. It is so simple, you have made everything so clear, it seems impos- sible to make any mistake!’

Now, perhaps some will say, “If there are so many chances for failure, I don’t think I’ll plant anything.” Forewarned is forearmed. If the difficulties are known in advance, they can usually be avoided. The man who is afraid to act because of possible difficulties will never accomplish anything.

The Delicious Apple. This apple has been more widely ad- vertised than any other variety and brings the highest prices on the market. It has been more widely planted and succeeds in a wide range of climates. Its unique flavor and shape are identified clearly in the minds of the consumers. Some trees have borne the second season alter planting, others have taken seven years, it is a ques- tion of soil and management how early and how perfect fruit the}^ bear.

Plant an apple tree for yourself and for future generations. The varieties starred are successful over the widest range of the United States.

“Those apples I got from you last spring all grew. Did not lose a one. Think there were 200 of them.” — D. M. Mowrey, Cumberland Co., Pa., February 5, 1921.

“I am well pleased with the apple trees which I bought of you. I only lost 2 out of 670 trees. They are growing fine.” — W. H. Mathis, Benton Co., Ar-^ kansas, July 19, 1920.

“The trees were fine, much better than we expected. The apples, especially, were excellent trees. Time and time again we noticed and commented upon their sturdy root systems and the strong, thrifty tops with their fat, healthy buds.” — Cecil Rynbrandt, Allegan Co., Mich., May 26, 1920.

Did you ever taste a peach ripe from the tree. They are easy to ^row and bear early, third year from planting, sometimes the second year. The most widely successful va- rieties are Carman; about 14 days later, Belle of Georgia; about a week later, Elberta. The Elberta is a commercial variety which is picked and marketed before mature ; they taste quite different if fully ripened on the tree.

We also recommend ordering one or two Early Rose, a medium size, red and white fleshed cling of very good quality, ripening about 10 days earlier than Carman. We in- troduced this variety and have good reports of it from California, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mis- souri, and other states.

“The shipment of fifty-odd peach trees I bought of you, although of the small size, came through in good shape and are doing fine although we had a very dry summer, they say the driest in 70 years. No one could find anything but praise for the stock you sent me last year.” — E. H. Pomeroy, Jackson Co., Oregon, Sept. 22, 1922.

“I have just returned from my Pinehurst (Moore County) orchard and find of the 12,700 trees bought of you and planted one year ago last winter, practically all are living, less number dead than other orchards in the same territory, the cause of which I think is partly due to the vigor of the tree when planted and partly due to the fact that we grew peas and rye, putting humus and balanced fertilizer in the ground.” — J. R. Lowery, Pres. Pinehurst Peach Co., Wake Co., N. C., May 19, 1922.

If you ever have the chance to eat any so- called sour cherries fresh from the tree, you will want a few Montmorency, Early Richmond (early), and English Morello (late) in your yard. Sweet cherries are very fastidious about climate and soil but the sours are hardy and succeed over a wide territory and in many types of well- drained soils. They are planted 18 to 20 feet apart. They are rather dwarfish growers and come into bearing at an early age. Cherry trees are not as easy to transplant success- fully as other kinds. Good one-year olds are more successfully transplanted. One cus- tomer lost only tw^o trees out of 500. They don’t like w^et feet.

“I am thoroughly delighted with all the stock I received from you this past year, 1920 — also 1919. My cherry trees only two years old bore cherries. One had 13, the other 7. Rambler rose second year is 4 ft. high, loaded with bloom, California Privet hedge, out of 100 plants I only lost 3, winter kill. That I con- sider excellent. Thei walnut shade trees are growing vigorously. I am always ready with words of praise for the Neosho Nursery People.” — Mrs. Geo. A. White, Essex Co., Mass., July 23, 1920.

“The Montmorency cherries purchased of you were a long time on the road, in fact were lost but finally traced up. When received we heeled them in at once and later set them out carefully. Out of the 135 that we bought about a dozen failed to grow.” — J. Beeibe &. Son, Lane Co., Oregon, July 27, 1921.

“I take great pleasure in stating that the trees re- ceived from you some three years ago have given good results and are growing and developing perfectly. I have had some little fruit last year and expect to have a starting crop this year.” — Leon Wolff, Mexico, Feb- ruary 20, 1920.

“All nursery stock I have received from you has done fine here. I am sorry I did not order all of my nursery stock from you this last spring.” — Geo. H. Gleason, Cumberland Co., Maine, July 19, 1920.

“We have not yet made an accurate count, but we believe at least 99% of trees (1005) we got from you last spring are still living.” — Farris Orchard Co., Alleghany Co., Md., Nov. 9, 1921.

Plum trees bear the third or fourth year and some varieties will succeed wherever apples or peaches can be grown. Euro- pean varieties such as Italian Prune, Green Gage, Shropshire Damson, are best in quality and succeed best from New England to Pennsylvania and west to Michigan, also on the Pacific Coast. Japan- ese varieties like Abundance, Burbank and Red June succeed over a wider range.

The Pear is one of the highest quality fruits but should be picked before ripe enough to eat. The standard of excellence is the Seckel. It does well as a dwarf and usually bears young, the third or fourth year. The dwarfs are set 10 to 15 feet apart. Pears prefer heavy loam or clay soil, are not as fussy as Other fruits about having well-drained soil and thrive in sod. Have a Seckel Dwarf in your yard.

Raspberries, Black- berries and Strawber- ries are never so good as when picked ripe and fresh from one's own garden. 50 Rasp- berries and 50 Black- berries set about 3 feet apart in rows 6 feet apart, and 50 Strawber- ries about 2 feet apart with rows 3 to 4 feet apart, will well repay the little time and trouble they will re- quire.

Of all the fruits the Grape is , ^ , most dependable. They produce

spite of utter neglect. They require little room (planting distance 8 feet by 10 feet) and are quite ornamental trained over arbors, fences, walls or on buildings. Note — The State Hor- ticulturists of Missouri and Ar- kansas recommend planting one-year vines. As a matter of fact the average buyer cannot tell whether he gets a one or two-year old vine. One nurseryman recently offered us some grape vines that he called one-year No. 1 which he said would pass for two-year olds.

“You asked for a report on the stock I received. I can say that I am very well satisfied, for I have stock from other nurseries and yours were the best for me as they had good roots where others were golf clubs beside yours. The grapes that I got from you were a little slow the first year but of course( they had to get established and this year they made a new growth of 10 ft. all this year, and if they do not believe they can come and see, for seeing is believing and the trees have grown just as good according, so you can see that I am satisfied.

“What a 'beautiful Home^^

Does anyone say that about your home? Do you say it yourself? If not, this spring is the time to make a start toward making your home more beauti- ful, more attractive to yourself and oth- ers and more valuable. Just a Halhs Honeysuckle or a Climbing American Beauty rose on the porch, a Spirea Van Houttei in the angle between the steps and -porch, or at the corner of the house will help a whole lot.

There is really nothing difficult nor ex- pensive about it nor any good reason for making such mistakes as these.

The caretaker of a city park pruned the tops of a full grown Spi- rea in late winter, so of course they did not bloom the following season.

A lady complained because her shrubs shov/ed no sign of life. We found them set a foot too deep, re- set them and they grew.

A customer’s privet hedge didn’t make a good growth, why should it, since it was set too shallow.

We leave no stone unturned to place good stock in good condition in the hands of our customers with complete instructions on handling, planting, prun- ing, etc. What more could we do?
