BAKER NURSERIES 
WE GUARANTEE OUR STOCK TO REACH YOU 
IN GOOD CONDITION 
All will be State inspected, and a certificate of inspection will 
be attached to your order, and it will please you. Weather and 
soil conditions and the way stock is handled after it leaves us 
will have much to do with its growing and doing well, due to all 
of these things being beyond our control you can see we cannot 
guarantee the stock to live and grow, because that depends en¬ 
tirely upon you, and in making your order to this you agree. 
TREATMENT OF TREES, ETC., THAT HAVE BEEN 
FROZEN IN THE PACKAGE OR RECEIVED 
DURING FROSTY WEATHER 
Put them unopened in a cellar or some other cool, protected 
place, free from frost, or cover them up heavily or entirely with 
earth until they are fully thawed out, then they can be unpacked 
and planted or placed in trenches until convenient to plant. 
Treated in this way they will not be injured by the freezing.

The number of plants required for an acre, at any given dis¬ 
tance apart may be ascertained by dividing the number of square 
feet in an acre (43,560) by the number of square feet given to 
each plant, which is obtained by multiplying the distance be¬ 
tween the rows by the distance between the plants. Thus, 
strawberries planted 3 feet by 1 foot gives each plant 3 square 
feet, or 14,5 20 plants to the acre.
