W. N. SCARFF’S SONS ♦ NEW CARLISLE, OHIO 
The Dawn of a 
New Era 
In Horticulture and 
Agriculture 
The past decade has seen many changes in the 
field of Horticulture and Agriculture. Not only has 
the reaction following the “Period of World War 
Prosperity” eliminated and sifted out of existence 
through a purely natural process the most unprofit- 
MAX M. SCARFF able varieties and methods of doing things, but it HOWARD N. SCARFF 
Mgr. Farm Seed and has brought to light and placed on a firm and thor- Mgr. Nursery and 
Live Stock Depts. oughly established foundation those things which Fruit Depts. 
were fundamentally sound and worthy of existence. 
Among the things which have emerged from this period of chaos we find many varieties of 
plants which by the acid test of actual comparative performance are head and shoulders above 
the rest in the real character which makes for quality and profit. Some are standard varieties 
that have withstood the test through their own merits or by selection of better and purer strains. 
Others—new varieties—some of them the results of long years of plant breeding and testing by 
our leading experiment stations and some bud sports, some selected seedlings, natural hybrids that 
show renewed vigor, vitality, and resistance to disease and drouth and which, after years of 
commercial testing, have proven their worth. 
Scarff’s 1934 Catalog offers the best of these varieties. We send it to you with the assur¬ 
ance that you can depend on the varieties listed and the quality of the stock we send out on all 
orders. Our sales are direct—producer to consumer—and prices are as low as it is possible to 
make them, consistent with the high grade of stock. 
GUARANTEE. We warrant our nursery stock true to name, with the express understanding that 
should any not prove so, we will refund the money paid or replace it with other stock, but are not 
liable for damages beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of our stock is the fact that we have 
customers who have sent us orders year after year since the issue of our first catalog. We pack 
carefully and will guarantee all plants in good condition on arrival. 
CLAIMS. ALL CLAIMS OR COMPLAINTS MUST BE MADE WITHIN 10 DAYS FROM RECEIPT 
OF STOCK. NO ATTENTION TO CLAIMS OR COMPLAINTS AFTER SUCH TIME HAS EXPIRED. 
The living of trees and shrubbery is largely dependent upon conditions of weather and after-care 
beyond the nurseryman’s control; therefore, we do not guarantee any stock to live after leaving 
the nursery in good condition. 
Our Terms. Payments invariably in advance. 
Care of Plants. If not ready to plant for a few days, bury the roots in cool, moist ground, 
partially shaded, being careful to firm the ground well so as to come in contact with the roots. 
When ready to plant puddle the roots well in thin mortar or clay and water and keep from sun and 
wind while planting. If Strawberry Plants, be careful not to get water on the foliage as it is sure 
to rot them. 
In our Farm Seed Department there have come new and heavier yielding varieties of all 
farm crops which we have added to our list from time to time but not until they have been grown 
and have actually proven their value on our own farms. We have equipped our Seed House the 
best possible way to care for our seed as it should be taken care of to hold ifs vitality in the 
original state. 
We wish to sincerely thank all of our customers, many of whom have been with us for years, 
for their patronage and we also welcome you who will send your first order to us this year.
