JOHN R. BARNES, 
President and General Manager 
A Personal Word 
To Our Patrons 
As early as 1890 John R. Barnes, now Presi- 
dent and Treasurer of the Barnes' Bros. Nurs- 
ery, owned and managed a large nursery 
business. In 1900, this business was made a de- 
partment of the firm of Barnes Bros. Four years 
later (1904) our Company was incorporated under 
its present name. Thus for a third of a century, 
this business has been under the same management. 
For 25 years, Mr. Van Leuvan, our Secretary 
and Superintendent, ha.s supervised the growing and 
shipping department. A number of employees have 
been with us from 10 to 20 years, some even longer, 
We have the men who not only know how to grow 
and ship good plants, but who actually do it. 
We have a complete equipment of storage build- 
ings, cold frames and green houses to conduct a 
successful Nursery business. 
We have always specialized in peach trees, and 
today have a splendid lot of Peach Trees for .sale. 
Another block of half a million fine young Peach 
Trees as ever grew are maturing for later shipment. 
We also offer a complete line of Fruit Trees and 
Plants, Shrubs, Roses, Evergreens, Shade Trees and 
a great variety of Peonies, Irises and other Peren- 
nial Plants. 
When you place your order with us, we will do 
our best to give you full value for your money. We 
have pleased thousands of others; we feel sure that 
we can please you.
