HART’S NURSERY, SPENCERVILLE, INDIANA 
INTRODUCTION 
DEAR CUSTOMER: We would liked to have sent you a catalog with pictures 
of fruit in their natural colors, but our customers know the quality of stock we send 
out and we feel that they would be more interested in buying good nursery stock for 
less money. 
You will find all information and variety descriptions in this book accurate and 
dependable. We do not boost any variety of stock unless it will give good results, 
for we want you to keep ordering from us year after year. 
In closing, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to the many customers who 
have so generously placed their orders with us in the past and made this business pos¬ 
sible. We trust we may have the pleasure of serving you during the coming year. 
Sincerely yours, 
HART’S NURSERY". 
HART’S GITARANTEE 
W/E GUARANTEE every Tree, Plant, or Vine sold by us to be strong, vigorous and 
healthy, and to deliver them to you in good condition. If, for any reason, you 
are not absolutely satisfied with your stock when it is received, advise us at once, and 
we will gladly replace the items or refund your money. That’s fair, isn’t it? 
1936 OUTLOOK 
1935 proved to be one of the best years we have had for a long time for the growth 
of strawberry plants. We planted them early and the spring rains gave them a boost. 
They are exceptionally long rooted and heavy crowned, with healthy foliage and free 
from leaf rollers. If you have been bothered with this pest we would be glad to in¬ 
form you of our method of control. 
Raspberries did not do quite so well as in 1934, and plants are not so plentiful. 
Trees are scarce, especially the 2-year-olds, because of the drowtli of 1934. 
All other stock did fine last year and we have a good supply to offer to the trade 
this year. 
We do not claim to be the largest producer of plants in this country, but when 
quality is considered we are willing to compare our plants with those raised anywhere. 
By growing all our plants it is possible to give them our personal supervision from 
the time the plants are set, till dug for your order. Our plants are kept thoroughly 
hoed and cultivated, not a weed is permitted to grow. Every plant that goes out is 
fresh dug. We have pleased others—we can please you.
