If you are going to plant an orchard 
or anything in the nursery line, you want stock that 
is adapted to your section of the country—stock 
that will survive dry weather and the hardship of 
winter. 
The House of Gurney ^Catalog gives you 
that information, and we have obtained the informa¬ 
tion in our 73 years of nursery work in the Northwest 
where weather conditions are severe and changeable. 
You would not think of obtaining your 
seed corn from southern Iowa and expect to have a 
satisfactory crop in the North, You can no more ex¬ 
pect favorable results with nursery stock from 
southern Iowa than you can with corn from southern 
Iowa. 
It takes a few years to produce a bear¬ 
ing orchard, or to make a windbreak. Don’t make the 
mistake of planting trees that are not suited for 
your locality. 
Let The House of Gurney help you make 
a success of your planting, Gur 73 years of exper¬ 
ience has helped us--IT WILL HELP YOU* 
I am 
Wishing you a prosperous year. 
Yours very truly,
