Excerpt from Stahelin's "Vitality" Fruit Plants and Trees, 1931 We feel that a little word of explanation is due here. Being located in one of the northern states of the U. S., we can and do produce a full line of nursery stock that is hardy. Now, everyone knows that you cannot take corn from the South and bring it North and get a crop from it. First, it is not hardy; second, it requires too long a growing season. The same reasoning applies to plants, trees or other nursery stock. Our location in Michigan and our close proximity to the lake, which tempers our Winters, is one of our biggest assets. We can ship early, usually the latter part of March and our climate is such that our nursery stock is practically dormant and has no green leaves by May lst. Customers receiving our straw berry plants should remember this. When your strawberries are green and full of blossoms, Stahelin's plants are still dormant, hardly any green foliage showing. They will stand shipment for thousands of miles and arrive in perfect condition. All this is due to our location, our expert method of growing, which helps to make a hardy, enormous producing strain of plants and trees.
