CLYDE E. HART KARL V. HART 
J UST 5 YEARS AGO we sent out our first catalog, only four hundred copies were 
printed and mailed to people in North-Eastern Indiana and North-Western Ohio. 
We had no idea then that we would have customers and friends in nearly every 
state in the Union and be sending out several thousand catalogs. 
Our business has not yet reached what you would call “a big business,” but each 
year has seen an increase over that of the preceding one. 
You will find all information and variety descriptions in this book accurate and 
dependable. We do not boost any variety of stock unless it will give good results, 
for we want you to keep ordering from us year after year. 
In closing, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to the many customers who have 
so generously placed their orders with us in the past and made this business possible. 
We trust we may have the pleasure of serving you during the coming year. 
Sincerely yours, 
HART’S NURSERY,

THE 1935 OUTLOOK 
M OST PARTS OF THE WEST and middle west experienced the worst drought during 
the year of 1934 known in recent years. 
The statement, “Isn’t God good to Indiana.” was literally fulfilled during the 
past summer. This was especially true of North-Eastern Indiana where our nursery 
is located. The rains of early spring gave our plants a good start and b}^ thorough 
cultivation and an occasional rain we have the best beds of plants we have ever 
produced. 
There is a real shortage this year in good nursery stock. We feel that you should 
be made aware of this fact so that you can plan the purchase of your nursery require¬ 
ments for the year to the best advantage. 
Government figures show that strawberry production will be from 15 to 20 per cent 
less, this year than that of 1934. The result of this reduction means higher prices for 
berries this year.
