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 )

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
