Keep  This  Money  at  Home 
Right  in  Your  Own  Pocket 

’HIS  is  a plain,  homely  talk,  but  I always  thought  busy  men  and 
women  would  read  plain  simple  statements  if  it  saves  them 
money  or  tells  them  something  important.  For  a good  many  years 
Fruit-growers  have  been  paying  a lot  of  extra  unnecessary  profit  on  the  trees 
they  buy.  You  may  have  done  it — through  agents,  retailers,  jobbers — the  four 
profit  plan,  the  indirect  expensive  way. 

Give  an  agent  $20  for  trees.  He  puts  $8  in  his  own  pocket  and  gives  $12 
to  the  retailer.  The  retailer  keeps  $5  and  gives  $7  to  the  wholesaler.  The 
wholesaler  takes  $2  and  hands  the  grower  $5  to  fill  your  $20  order. 

You  can  keep  that  $15  yourself  if  you  buy  from  the  Planters’  Nursery.  I 
grow  trees  by  the  millions  and  sell  them  straight  to  the  people  who  plant  them. 
You  can  see  why  my  prices  are  lower  than  anybody  else  can  make,  who  does 
business  the  old  way.  You  not  only  save  three  profits,  as  well  as  the  expense 
of  three  packings  and  damage  due  to  delays  and  drying  out,  but  you  get  care- 
fully selected,  well  packed,  guaranteed,  true  to  name  stock— fresh  from  the  nursery  just  when  you  want  it. 

No  matter  where  you  look,  regardless  of  what  you  pay,  you  can’t  buy  better  trees  than  I offer  you.  Remember 
you  take  no  risk  in  ordering  Planters’  Trees.  If  you  don’t  find  the  stock  exactly  as  I say,  if  you  are  not  more  than 
satisfied,  I’ll  refund  every  cent.  Read  my  guarantee,  then  take  advantage  of  the  remarkable  savings  offered  you.

DECIDE  where  you  will  buy  your  trees  this  spring.  No  agent  or  tree  peddler  can  hope  to  give  you  values  like 
these.  You  not  only  save  his  commission,  but  I am  not  asking  you  to  pay  for  a lot  of  big,  high-priced  catalogs 
that  go  to  people  who  never  buy.  I am  putting  that  money  right  into  your  trees  and  you  get  them  for  just  that 
much  less.  On  many  of  my  trees  you  pay  a profit  of  less  than  1 cent  each.  My  plan  of  selling  trees  by  the  millions, 
straight  to  the  planter,  makes  it  possible.  That’s  why  you  can  buy  Planters  trees  right  down  at  bed-rock— at  prices 
nobody  can  meet  on  the  same  high  quality. 

Sturdy,  fresh,  healthy,  well-rooted  stock,  true-to-name,  packed  right,  delivered  right— more  trees  for  the  money 
— better  trees  for  the  money — straight,  fair  treatment — that’s  the  way  we  are  trying  to  do  business  with  you.  My 
big,  broad  guarantee  makes  you  absolutely  safe.

Think  of  one  tree  producing  a peck  of 
peaches  16  monts  after  planting — two  bushels 
the  second  year.  That’s  what  one  planter  re- 
ports from  the  astonishing  Early  Wonder. 
The  marvel  of  every  fruit-grower.  Hardy, 
bears  loads  of  luscious,  red  peaches  every 
year.  Tested  and  proven  from  Massachusetts 
to  Texas.  Ripens  in  July  when  good  peaches 


are  scarce.  Best  early  peach  for  canning  and 
market.  You  wouldn’t  take  $5.00  a tree  when 
they  start  to  bear.

Fair  Dealing 


Best  in  Five.  The  trees  ar- 
rived in  good  shape.  I had  to 
open  the  box  to  show  the  peo- 
ple the  trees  before  I left  town. 

They  all  thought  I would  be 
stung  ordering  trees  by  mail 
order,  but  they  all  left  and 
said  I had  as  good  trees  as 
ever  shipped  in.  My  neigh- 
bors come  to  see  them  and 
they  were  all  satisfied.  I have 
ordered  from  five  other  nur- 
series, but  yours  is  doing  bet- 
ter than  any  of  the  others.  I 
am  proud  the  way  they  are 
growing. — P.  I.  Nelson,  Kans. 

Sure  Saved  Commission.  I was  pleased 
with  the  trees  received  from  you.  The  trees 
and  grape  vines  were  of  good  quality  and  the 
prices  for  same  were  reasonable.  The  agent’s 
commission  was  certainly  cut  out. — W.  N. 
Oles,  Kansas. 

How  We  Pack.  Never  had  trees  shipped 
to  me  in  finer  shape  than  those  you  shipped 
to  me.  Am  well  pleased  with  them.  When  I 
want  more  trees  I will  send  to  you. — W.  H. 
Wright,  Kansas. 

Saves  Over  Half.  The  trees  1 received  of 
you  are  just  fine.  They  are  all  growing — 
everyone  of  them.  Will  recommend  you  to 
anyone  wanting  trees,  and  the  cost  is  hardly 


half  what  agents  charge  for  inferior  stock. — 
H.  G.  Loveland,  Kansas. 

Better  and  Cheaper.  I received  the  trees 
I ordered  of  you  and  they  are  all  O.  K.  Your 
trees  are  better  and  cheaper  than  from  these 
traveling  agents.  I have  been  stung  several 
times  myself.  No  more  for  me. — F.  E.  John- 
son, Kansas. 

Likes  Our  Plan.  I am  just  in  receipt  of 
your  second  shipment  of  fruit  trees,  vines  and 
shrubs  you  shipped  to  me  this  spring,  and  I 
must  say  they  are  as  fresh  and  fine  as  could 
be  wished  for.  Your  plan  of  from  the  grower 
to  the  planter  is  a good  plan,  and  you  have 


Saves  75  Per"  Cent.  Your 
trees  were  far  better  than  I ex- 
pected to  get.  We  got  some 
trees  of  an  agent  about  the 
time  yours  came.  We  paid 
twenty-seven  cents  apiece  for 
peach  trees  like  you  sell  for 
seven  cents.  I am  telling  my 
neighbors  where  to  get  cheap 
and  good  trees  If  I were  going 
to  plant  my  whole  farm  in 
trees  I would  send  to  you  for 
them.  Don’t  write  to  me  any 
more  lor  I might  order  some 
more  of  your  excellent  stock. 
— J.  N.  Lamb,  Kansas. 

my  appreciation  and  best  wishes.— G.  H. 
Bowman.  Kansas. 

Looks  Good  to  Him.  The  trees  and  shrubs 
received  in  good  condition  and  are  growing 
fine.  Am  greatly  pleased  with  your  goods  and 
will  remember  you  in  the  future.  You  look 
good  to  us  and  we  will  do  all  we  can  with  our 
neighbors  to  interest  them  in  your  favor. — G. 
W.  Hall,  Arkansas. 

Better  Roots.  Your  trees  arrived  in  good 
shape;  everyone  looked  as  if  it  would  grow.  I 
am  much  pleased  with  them  as  they  have  bet- 
ter roots  than  any  we  have  got  from  local 
nurseries.  Will  speak  a good  word  for  you  at 
any  time.— F.  F.  Ellerbeck,  Kansas.
