BAILEY 
As another Spring Season approaches, we are fortunate to 
have the finest lot of nursery stock we have ever offered! 
Due to favorable weather the past season, our stock has de¬ 
veloped unusually well. . . and ideal growing conditions during 
the fall matured plants so they went into the winter full of 
vigor and vitality. These factors all contribute to successful 
transplanting—and favorable results. Through our modern 
storage and packing facilities, we are prepared to furnish best 
quality stock . . . guaranteed to reach you in prime condition 
for planting. 
We grow our own stock. When you buy from Bailey’s, you 
not only save commissions paid to agents . . . but are assured 
of getting high quality plants, properly handled from the 
time they are dug, until they reach you. 
We have a large stock of many varieties that we are offering 
at greatly reduced prices this season . . . the same high quality 
stock that has given us thirty-two years of successful nursery 
business.

We are grateful for the loyalty of our customers, and it is our 
hope that these pleasant relations will continue. 
Read Our Liberal Guarantee and Terms of Sale 
Any material failing to grow, will be resupplied at one-half the original cost of the stock, 
provided we are informed of such failure prior to October 1, 1940. 
Cash with order or will accept one-fourth of purchase price in advance and ship goods 
C. O. D. for the balance. All stock priced f.o.b. St. Paul or at nursery except where other¬ 
wise stated. 
We are careful to keep our varieties true to name and will replace any portion of the stock 
that may prove otherwise or refund the price paid for such portions. It is agreed that the 
original price shall be the maximum damages the purchaser is entitled to. 
A Certificate of Inspection Accompanies Each Order. 
CARE OF NURSERY STOCK 
When the stock is received, open the bundle in 
the shade out of the wind and, if you are not 
ready to plant immediately, heel the roots in the 
ground, soaking them well as you do. If well 
heeled in, they can be kept without damage for 
a reasonable time. Ask for our free booklet on 
planting and care of nursery stock. 
PARCEL POST 
Many of the smaller items can be shipped by 
parcel post at less expense than by express. 
Include 10 per cent for packing and postage if 
desired by parcel post. Windbreak trees are pre¬ 
paid. 4-5 ft. and 5-6 ft. fruit trees cannot be sent 
by mail. 
IRRIGATION 
We have over 50 acres under irrigation. Our 
fruit trees have all been produced on this tract 
and are really in exceptionally vigorous condition. 
By irrigating properly, we maintain a steady 
growth throughout the season. Without irriga¬ 
tion, trees are often checked with every little dry 
spell and serious dry spells like we have had in 
recent years are very apt to weaken the stock. It is 
during these first two or three years after grafting 
that the young trees need this special care. 
When you plant BAILEY’S Fruit Trees you 
have stock that is ready to start growth with the 
first warm weather. 
LOCATION OF OUR NURSERIES—Our Nursery is located just off Highway 61, at the 
St. Paul city limits, across the river from South St. Paul. We invite our customers to come 
and select their own stock. However, mail orders receive our personal attention and we assure you 
that we will select your stock with the utmost care.
