GURNEY’S NURSERY STOCK 
Four Hundred and Eighty Acres of 
Land are devoted to raising the trees, 
shrubs, and flowers offered in this cata¬ 
log. Every acre is right here in the 
vicinity of South Dakota. It is all sub¬ 
ject to the hot winds of summer and the 
below zero temperatures of winter—just 
the same as those that reach your place. 
If they grow for us, they will grow for 
you. If they do not do well here, we do 
not offer them to you. You reap the 
benefit of our Seventy One Years of 
experience in the Central Northwest. 
We grow trees, shrubs, and flowers 
by the Millions, over five million 
Chinese Elm were raised from seed in 
1936 on the Gurney Nursery. Forty 
thousand fruit trees, a hundred thous¬ 
and Ornamental Shrubs as well as liter¬ 
ally millions of other trees. 
By quantity production, we are 
able to offer you Quality Nursery 
Stock at prices that Save you Money. 
Early Orders are worthwhile. Early

sults—And a Free Premium.

HARDY—HEALTHY 
T rees—Shrubs—Flowers 
Only these are offered by The House of Gur¬ 
ney. They have been proved through almost 
three-fourths of a century in this section of the 
country. Always watching for new methods of 
producing better stock. We have been able to 
offer plants that have a better chance to with¬ 
stand the adversities of climate that the 
Middle-Northwest can produce. 
Baccata Roots 
For example, I believe we are the only nursery 
in the United States that buds and grafts apple 
trees exclusively on the Hardy Baccata. We 
have had hardier Peaches for some years. A 
perfectly hardy Apricot will be ready next year. 
— It’s A Big Problem — 
But Gurney’s will always lead with Better 
Plants for the Northwest. 
<£?ur (guarantee 
We guarantee our nursery stock to ' 
each customer In good growing condi¬ 
tion. If through delay in shipment or 
other causes, it does not, we are to be 
lOtified at once and we will make a satis¬ 
factory adjustment by replacement or ' 
refund. Any other kind of a replacement 1 
is wrong as it makes the careful planter - 
pay for the careless planter’s trees. 
Non-Warranty 
The House of Gurney, Inc., does not ' 
ive any warranty, expressed or implied, 
as to description, quality, productiveness, 
or any other matter of seeds, bulbs or i 
plants which it sends out, and will not
