The above is a photograph of our exhibit at the State Farm Products Show, Harrisburgh, Penna., January, 1934. We have exhibited at this show for the past 8 years and have occupied this space in the new building each year since it was opened. This is one of the greatest Agriculture shows in the World and draws hundreds of thousands of people there each year to view the competitive and commercial exhibits. Some of the managers of our firm are always in attendance at this show with our exhibit to greet you and show you the merits of our stock. Note the fine fruit trees and berry plants and asparagus as well as specimen apples of our more recent introductions. Attend this show this year and come and see us while there. Dates for the show this year are January 21st to 25th, 1935.
