GUARANTEED NURSERY STOCK 
SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. 
over 10.000 i— 
When you order Nursery Stock or Seeds from Sears, over 
10,000 acres of the country’s finest and largest nurseries are 
at your command —over 15 sections of land devoted to the 
intense cultivation of Nature’s finest trees, shrubs, and 
plants—the finest varieties grown anywhere! 
Nursery stock does not start “paying dividends” 
until considerable time has elapsed. Therefore, the 
purchasing of this stock is largely a matter of confi¬ 
dence in the concern from which you buy. Sears have 
gained the complete confidence of millions of custom¬ 
ers in nearly fifty years of business. 
EXPERT GROWING 
Sears nursery stock is grown by expert nurserymen who 
have devoted their lives to the propagation and development 
of quality trees, shrubs, roses and other plants. 
Various soils are required for the different kinds of nursery 
stock. With such an extensive acreage at our command, 
Sears nurserymen are able to select the type of soil best 
adapted to the development of any particular stock. 
CAREFUL GRADING AND PACKING 
All Sears nursery stock is shipped direct from nursery to 
you, and is packed with the greatest of care in order that it 
will reach you in a healthy condition. This assures you of 
quicker growth and less chance of stock dying out. 
Experts grade the nursery stock after it is dug and before 
it is packed. Every plant is critically examined—it must have 
an abundance of roots, well-balanced tops—every plant must 
meet the rigid specifications of Sears and of the American 
Association of Nurserymen. Every plant must be free from 
disease. A certificate to that effect is furnished by the De¬ 
partment of Agriculture in the state where the stock was pro¬ 
duced, and this certificate accompanies each shipment. 
PROMPT SHIPMENT 
Sears are prepared to make prompt shipments of all nurs¬ 
ery stock in season. Our nurserymen are experienced and 
familiar with planting and weather conditions, and will make 
shipment at proper time. 
Sears are one of the largest buyers of nursery stock in the 
United States, therefore demand the highest quality, quickest 
service and lowest price.
