ON osten Year, 1942. 76 years of service to the farmers, gardeners and 
growers of the great Northwest. We, the Gurneys here at Yankton, South 
Dakota, are proud of such a record. As this territory has progressed, so have 
we. We've all had our ups and downs, too, haven’t we? 
I bring you a message of cheer, of a great growing season ahead. Lots of 
moisture, perhaps more than we've had in a decade insures all planters of 
Gurney’s trees and shrubs, seed and seed corn greater success than ever. 
Our country needs greater table food production in 1942. The best way 
to raise greater foods is with Gurney’s trees, fruits and seeds. Now let’s read 
this catalog. Prices of these products elsewhere are probably much higher, but 
very little change at Gurney’s, except in farm seeds. Bad harvesting weather 
and smaller seed acreages destroyed large portions of growing seed crops. 
Alfalfa was about 4 a crop, sweet clover % a crop, red clover % crop and 
so on. But prices at Gurney’s are still low. Many, many bargains in HARDY 
NORTHERN GROWN trees, shrubs and plants at fair prices, prices you can 
afford to pay. 
Last, but not least, Hybrid Corn. Our own corn breeding and research 
connections enable us this year to produce some of our own hybrids at Yankton. 
Such corn is bred to withstand Northwestern weather. This year, be sure and 
try GURNEY’S GOLDEN HYBRIDS for the Northwest. 
Three generations of Gurneys have produced and sold reliable trees and 
seeds. In 76 years, we have learned many things to help you. Call on us for 
help in planting, growing and marketing. Everyone in our organization is s Phe ee 
glad to help you, Be sure and write us a nice long letter, or better yet, come f é d fee - 
in and see us at Yankton. We're friendly people down here at Gurney’s, and j a #: 
our aim is to give you better trees, plants and seeds, grown in the Northwest, 
adapted to our more severe conditions; and to SAVE YOU MONEY. 
Hope we all enjoy the pleasure of growing, planting and reaping a bumper 
parvesr in 1942. GOODBYE FOLKS.
