BAKER NURSERIES 
SOME REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY YOUR 
NURSERY STOCK FROM US 
1. All of our trees and plants are State inspected and will 
please you in every way, and your order will have attached to it 
a copy of our inspection certificate from our State Plant Board. 
2. We have been in the nursery business for many years, 
thereby attaining a full and complete knowledge of what varieties 
are giving best satisfaction in our trade territory; also of the best 
mode of propagating and growing stock, and of handling and 
caring for it when transplanting. 
3. The advantages of our nursery grown shade trees over 
those obtained from the forest. The transplanting of trees into 
nursery rows, together with the thorough cultivation they receive 
causes them to form an abundance of root, making them more 
vigorous and healthy, and when transplanted by purchaser, they 
will make a strong growth from the start, thus enabling them to 
resist the hot rays of the summer sun. 
4. We are not making a specialty of growing a few sorts, 
such as apples, peaches, and cherries, but have a general nursery, 
thereby enabling the purchaser to select from a complete assort¬ 
ment of fruit, deciduous and evergreen trees, flowering shrubs, 
vines, roses, bulbs, etc., that are of superior quality and at less 
cost than the same stock can be secured from other nurseries. 
5. Our location is in the center of a great fruit producing 
country. New sorts are continually being tested, and cither 
placed on the list as being worthy or discarded, thus enabling us 
to obtain the very best approved varieties. 
6. We are located at the foot of the Ozark hills in the heart 
of the famous White County, Arkansas, strawberry district, on 
the Missouri Pacific Railway and C., R. I. U P. Railway, two 
largest railroad systems in the country, making our railroad 
facilities for quick transportation for perishable goods one of the 
best. We are able to ship direct to many points without the risk 
of delay in transferring stock from one railroad to another. 
PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU ORDER 
In preparing this catalog, it is our desire and aim to make the 
descriptions and time of ripening, etc., as accurate and intelligible 
as possible, and, in so doing, lend assistance to those desiring to 
make a selection, so as to obtain varieties suited to their locality, 
and also that a succession of ripening from the earliest to the 
latest may be obtained. 
SUBSTITUTION.—When particular varieties are ordered, 
state if substitution is allowed and to what extent, in case the 
order cannot be filled as ordered, as sometimes is the case in all 
nurseries. When no instructions are given, we will use our best 
judgment so as to render the best satisfaction to the customer. 
SHIPPING DIRECTIONS.—Give explicit directions for 
marking and shipping stock. In case no directions are given, we 
will ship the cheapest and most direct route by freight, unless it 
is deemed safest and best to ship by express. In all cases, the 
shipment will be at the risk of the purchaser, and, if delay or loss 
occurs in transit, the forwarders alone must be held responsible. 
Orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied 
with a draft, postoffice, or express money order for the amount. 
If neither can be obtained, enclose currency in registered letter. 
ERRORS.—Customers are requested to send notice at once of 
any error that may be made in filling their orders, so that it may 
be rectified and explained. 
AR TICLES BY MAIL.—Packages of small articles can be 
sent by mail, for the convenience of those who cannot be reached 
by railroad or express. 
I HE SHIPPING SEASON.—There can be no definite time 
specified for beginning to ship, either in the spring or fall. That
