Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a journey through the history of a thriving nursery business, founded in the mid-19th century. The author paints a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs faced by I.E. Ilgenfritz and his sons as they built their empire, transforming a small patch of land into a sprawling enterprise spanning 500 acres. The narrative is deeply rooted in the agricultural and economic realities of the era, highlighting the importance of innovation and adaptability in a rapidly changing world. We see the evolution of farming practices, the growth of the fruit industry, and the ever-present need to find the right varieties for specific climates and soil conditions. Beyond practical advice on selecting and planting trees, the book offers a glimpse into the complexities of entrepreneurship and family business, showcasing the dedication and perseverance required for success. The bookââ â¢s insights into the history of American agriculture and its portrayal of a familyââ â¢s enduring legacy make it a captivating read for anyone interested in the past and the enduring power of hard work and ingenuity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Our offices and packing grounds are second to none in the country. They are located adjoining the L. S. M. S. Depot, with which we are connected by our own side track, and two blocks west of the M. C. Depot, which makes our shipping facilities unsurpassed. On these grounds are located our immense storage cellars, which are the largest and finest in the United States. We were the originators of the storage cellar system and to-day we have the largest nursery storage cellar in the world.
Great care is exercised in raising the many different varieties of trees and plants, and it has always been our rule to advise our customers to plant only varieties of merit, and it is our aim in this supplementary catalogue to place only such varieties before you.
Dr. John A. Warder in his excellent work on apples, says: Every orchard planter who examines the extended varieties of fruits presented to him in the books and by the nurserymen, must feel greatly embarrassed when he comes to select the varieties for hi own orchard. Almost every one in the long lists is recommended for some good quality, and the number of best which he is apt to conclude is indispensable to him, is wonderfully large. Some persons are bewildered by the array presented in the catalogue, and fall back upon their own slender stock of information, selecting only one well known variety; but most persons commit a far greater fault by attempting to grasp all the varieties that are offered and commended.
Our descriptive list herein given embraces many of the best and most of the popular varieties known, and although a complete list of those given might run into too great a variety for profit, yet a well-selected assortment taken from the varieties given should be a most profitable one for any planter. While we take the greatest pains to have all of our nursery stock true to label, and hold ourselves in readiness upon proper proof to replace all stock that may prove untrue, or refund the amount paid, it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that we shall not be liable for any sum greater than that originally received for said stock direct from planter.
