VERY PROUD OF THE NURSERY 
STOCK we grow and ship to our customers. It 
takes years to learn the best methods of Propagating 
Nursery Stock that will keep thousands of Satisfied Cus¬ 
tomers coming back each year for their nursery require¬ 
ments. For seventy years we have been growing and selling 
to the People of The Great Northwest, and all over the 
World, the nursery stock that they have needed. 
During these seventy years we have done our best 
to keep up with the newer varieties of nursery 
stock, as well

as continuing 
with the best 
of the “Older 
Varieties” and 
supplying this 
stock to our 
customers, al¬ 
ways, at a Fair Price. Our prices are based on a 
large volume of business, which means thousands 
of orders each year. Without this,large volume 
of business we would have to increase our prices. 
Every year we learn new methods of propagating that 
permit us to grow many items on a broader scale, at a 
lower cost of production—this saving is always passed on 
to our customers, always bearing in mind that the cus¬ 
tomer is entitled to the lowest price at which Nursery 
Stock can be grown.

‘HARDY NURSERY STOCK GROWN for 
the Great Northwest must be propagated and 
grown by the best possible methods. The 
House of Gurney watches for every chance to 
improve the quality of the nursery stock they 
grow. It is absolutely necessary that our 
customers receive nothing but high quality 
stock with extra heavy roots and well propor¬ 
tioned, bushy tops, or they will not be satis¬ 
factory. 
\ New methods are being followed to give our 
(customers stock that will prove superior and 
[more hardy than stock they have been receiving 
# the past. 
i Apple Trees, for instance, are propagated 
exclusively on the Hardy Pyrus Baccata Roots. 
l\Ve believe that we are the only Nursery 
i|Company in the United States using this 
superior, hardy root exclusively on which to 
(jraft our Apple Trees.

KEEP A COPY 
. Keep a copy of your order and check 
when they arrive. Sometimes items 
are sold out or come under separate cover. 
Mistakes will happen in any organization. 
When we make them, do us a favor by 
telling us about them immediately. We 
value your good will and are anxious to 
correct errors. Notify us if you do not 
get an acknowledgement of your order. 
GURNEY'S GUARANTEE 
We guarantee all nursery stock to reach 
you in LIVE GROWING CONDITION. 
When your nursery order is received, 
examine the stock very carefully, and if 
everything is not all right — as you would 
like it— WRITE US IMMEDIATELY and 
we will be more than glad to make proper 
adjustment by replacing, free, all items 
that are not satisfactory. We, however, 
cannot make proper adjustment after 
you have had your stock more than 10 
days. Be sure to report any shortages, 
poor or unsatisfactory stock, etc., im¬ 
mediately upon receipt and unpacking of 
shipment. GURNEY'S LOW PRICES 
save you money. On any other kind of 
adjustment basis, than that mentioned 
above, we would necessarily have to raise 
our prices -therefore, we feel that we can 
save you money by selling you stock at low 
prices, and you carry your own planting 
insurance. This saves you—a careful 
planter—the expense of paying for the 
careless planters losses.
