Working on Budding Trees in the GURNEY Nurseries 































EVENTY-FIVE years of service to the farmers, gardeners and growers of 
the Northwest is a record of which The House of Gurney is extremely 
proud. For three-quarters of a century we have progressed with this great 
agricultural territory until now .. . in this year of 1941 . . . we celebrate our 
DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY! Our part in this celebration began months ago 
when we started harvesting, cleaning and testing seed, digging and cellaring 
hundreds of varieties of trees and shrubs, getting ready for the business we hope 
will come from this catalog. 
Now, my Friends, I want you to read this Catalog. I want you to look 
over the HUNDREDS OF BARGAINS you will find. Bargains in high qual- 
ity farm seed, free from noxious weeds. Bargains in HARDY NORTHERN 
GROWN TREES, shrubs and plants, at prices you can afford to pay. Bargains 
in garden seed of the varieties and types suited to your section of the Northwest. 
Look it over Carefully. I am sure you will find something you need, that you 
ean order from Gurney’s and Save Money. 
For 75 years, three generations of Gurneys have produced and sold seeds 
and trees. In this three-quarters of a century we have learned many things 
that I know will be of value to you. I want you to feel free at all times to 
bring your planting, growing, and marketing problems to us. Someone in our 
organization can help you. 
Now, in 1941, we want you to join with us in this, our greatest anniversary. 
Sometime, this year, we want you to write to or visit The House of Gurney 
here at Yankton. Through this catalog you will come to feel the friendly service 
of this organization . . . use it, save from it, and reap the satisfaction of knowing 
that you have planted well for the growing season ahead. 
May 1941 bring you joy and happiness as it has to us in serving you!
