Where Personal Attention Protects Your Interest 
W E feel keenly the responsibility placed upon us by every purchaser 
of Barnes’ Trees. For the planter must rely wholly upon the honor 
and integrity of his nurserymen. Unreliable Trees may look as good 
or better than dependable ones. Time alone can tell. Thousands of bearing 
orchards throughout the East bear testimony to our carefulness in growing 
young Trees. 
We have many men in our employ who have been with us ten or more 
years. The budding is supervised by a man who has been with this company 
for more than a quarter century. Such men understand their work and do it 
carefully and correctly. 
Please remember that the first cost of Trees is only a small item in the 
final cost. The cost of planting and caring for the Trees until bearing time is 
the same in any event. Protect your future by securing Trees that you 
can depend on. 
Just now our lines are nearly complete. We want you to have the early 
pick—because we can give you better service, and a better assortment. Spring 
is on the way! Let your order come forward! 
New Cortland Apple 
Better than McIntosh 
The Rural New-Yorker (editorial, Nov. 3, 
1923) considers the Cortland “the most prom¬ 
ising variety for this section that has been 
introduced for years.” It was originated at 
the New York Agricultural Experiment 
Station in an endeavor to produce a fruit 
having the fine qualities of the McIntosh 
with additional virtues which that variety 
lacks. 
The Cortland resembles the McIntosh in 
color, flavor and aroma, but is considerably 
larger. Ripens a month later and hangs to 
the tree like a Ben Davis. Keeps till January 
1st, or in storage till March. The American 
Pomological Society awarded the Cortland the 
Wilder Medal. You should plant at least a 
few Trees this Spring. 
Price: 1-year Trees, 3-4 ft., $1 each ; 2-3 
ft.. 75c; 1-2 ft., 50c. 
New Latham Red Raspberry 
The hardiest, most prolific Red Raspberry 
grown. Canes nearly thornless, so hardy they 
do not need covering, even when exposed to 
severe cold. Almost immune to disease. 
Bears firm, large berries, often nearly an inch 
in diameter. One Dakota grower reports a 
yield of 7,200 pints from a single acre. A 
New York State grower writes that the 
Latham bears heavily “the year that you set 
them out.” 
The Latham is a true Red Raspberry des¬ 
tined, we believe, to become immensely popu¬ 
lar. We recommend that you try it this sea¬ 
son. Our prices are very reasonable for so 
new a variety. Price, $2.50 per dozen; 
$10 per hundred.

Hugonis Rose 
Extra Early - Hardy 
In early May, weeks ahead of other roses, 
the Hugonis bursts into a blaze of golden glory. 
The long slender branches of the previous 
year’s growth are covered to the tips with sin¬ 
gle flowers, like yellow hollyhocks. Plant the 
Hugonis along the shrubbery border with 
Spirea Van Houtte (Bridal Wreath) and you 
will have the show place of the neighborhood. 
The long arching sprays form a delightful 
table decoration at a season when other cut¬ 
ting flowers are scarce. With its exquisite 
foliage and colorful branches, the Hugonis re¬ 
mains a beautiful bush throughout the long 
summer. This lovely Rose is hardy clear to 
the Capadian border. Everyone may enjoy it 
as it needs very little care. Heavy field-grown 
plants, postpaid, $1, each. Order today.
