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 the best mode of propo- 
gation 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 en¬ 
abling the purchaser to select from a complete assortment 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 either 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 Mis¬ 
souri Pacific Railway and C., R. I. & P. Railway, two largest rail¬ 
road 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 de¬ 
scriptions 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 ob¬ 
tained. 
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 may be accompanied with a check, draft, postoffice, or ex¬ 
press money order for the amount. If neither can be obtained, en¬ 
close currency in registered letter with order, or if C. O. D. wanted, 
send 25 per cent cash with order and other will be sent C. O. D. and 
to enable you to get your order out early, send it in now; this to ap¬ 
ply to early orders. After shipping season begins we will be able to 
ship promptly on receipt of your order.
