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 propogation and growing stock, and 
of handling and' caring for it when transplanting. 
3. The advantage of our nursery grown shade trees and 
shrubs over those obtained from the forest. The trans¬ 
planting of them into nursery rows, together with the 
thorough cultivation they receive causes them to form an 
abundance of roots, 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 enabling 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 many 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 en¬ 
abling 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 Missouri Pacific Railroad and C. R. I. & P. 
Railway, two largest railroad 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 descriptions and time of ripening, etc., as ac¬ 
curate and intelligible as possible, and, in so doing, lend 
assistance to those desiring to make a selection, so to ob¬ 
tain varieties suited to their locality, and also that a suc¬ 
cession of ripening from the earliest to the latest may be 
obtained. 
SUBSTITUTION.—When particular varieties are or¬ 
dered, state if substitution is allowed and to what extent, 
in case the order can not 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 ex¬ 
press. In all cases, the shipment will be at the risk of the 
purchaser, and, if delay or loss occurs in transit, the for¬ 
warders alone must be held responsible. 
Order may be accompanied with a check, draft, post- 
office, or express money order for the amount. If neither 
can be obtained, enclose currency in registered letter with
