STATEMENT OF INSPECTION 
Amherst, Mctss 
September 18, 1939 
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; 
This is to state that all the saleable apple, pear and plum stock now 
growing in the Wallingford Nursreies of the Barnes Nursery and Orchard 
Company near Wallingford, Connecticut, have been examined by me and, as 
they now stemd in the nursery row all trees are, to the best of my knowledge 
and belief, true to name. 
J. K. Shaw, 
Research Professor of Pomology 
NON-WARRANTY 
We strive to avoid mistakes, but in the event that any nursery stock sold 
by us should prove untrue to the label under which it is sold, provided notice 
and proper proof are furnished to the seller, the seller shall, at the option of 
the buyer, either refill that portion of the order which was mislabeled, by 
another delivery of stock or refund the purchase price. But in any case the 
seller is not to be held responsible for a sum greater than the original sell¬ 
ing price of such stock. All sales or agreements to sell are made subject to 
shortage of nursery stock from fire, frosts, drought, or other causes beyond 
control of the sellers. 
APPLICATION OF PRICES 
Customers may select 5 of any kind (such as 5 peach) at the 10 rate, 50 
at the 100 rate. 
DISCOUNT 
discount may be deducted on all orders where the total amount is 
remitted with the order and this is sent before April 1st. 
SIZE OF TREES 
Caliper or diameter governs the size of all fruit trees except 1-year 
apple. Height is only approximate. 
STANDARD APPLE TREES 
ORDER EARLY 
Permanent apple trees are usually planted about 40 feet apart. Some 
growers prefer more, some a little less. Some also use fillers, such as peach 
trees, or early bearing varieties of apples, making them 20 feet apart, or if 
planted only in the center of the 40-foot space the distance will be 28 feet. 
As the trees begin to crowd, taking out one-half will leave them 28 feet 
apart and later when the remaining fillers are removed, the distance will be 
40 feet. Thus an income can be had for many years, when the permanent 
trees will need only a portion of the land. 
Two years old ii in. and up Apple Trees 
LESSONS 
Each year we learn something ircun the previous growing and marketing 
season. Surely, the marketing season from hall 193') on has taught us 
lessons. Among others, that old trees which must be picked from ladders 25 
feet or more in length are not practical. It is nearly impossible to spray them 
thoroughly, and the labor expense of thinning and harvesting is too heavy 
especially since these old timers rarely produce the best (piality fruit. 
Competition at present is such that one nntst have high (piality fruit 
which is best and cheapest obtained from young trees. Further, many of the 
old time varieties can no longer be sold, hor home use they may be line, but 
for marketing purposes of no use. 
Prices of fruit trees arc the lowest they have been in years. In fact so low 
there is no object for a nnrscrv to grow them. Surely advantage should be 
taken of present conditions to' rip out the old non-profitalile varieties and 
replace them with young and more desirable ones. 
We are selling only apple trees of our own growing and every tree offered 
by us has had Dr. Shaw’s inspection for trueness to name.
