A s YOU read through the pages of this book, we ask you to bear in mind 
we are submitting for your approval something in excess of merely fruit 
trees, flowers, plants and rose bushes. The vital something is the in- 
tangible quality of Barnes’ nursery stock, that something which is your definite 
assurance that your garden, planted with Barnes’ plants and trees, will the first 
season be a spot of satisfaction and exceptional beauty. 
There has never been any attempt on our part to compete with the ordinary 
type of nursery stock. Barnes Brothers Nursery grows and sends out an 
entirely different quality of material than is usually offered. 
The greater part of our products are grown in open nursery fields for two 
years or more, and given constant care and cultivation, and when sent out are 
hardy, strong developed field'grown specimens with excellent roots ready to 
give immediate satisfaction. 
The Barnes quality is not always noticeable to the eye until the flower or 
fruiting season arrives. Then the outstanding difference becomes decidedly 
apparent.

Why Gamble with Unknown Quality?' 
The quality inborn in Barnes’ plant life largely determines and insures your 
garden’s success, so why take chances when Barnes’ plants are your guarantee 
of satisfactory results.
