The Reasons Why You Should Buy Your Nursery Stockh Grom Yt 
The Baker Nurseries, with this catalogue is going into 
its 24th year, having began in 1918 in a very small way, 
using about one acre of land. Today it has more than 
1,000 acres of land, with over 200 devoted to the growing 
of all kinds of field grown trees and plants, growing 
annually hundreds of thousands of fruit trees, fruit vines, 
strawberry plants, evergreens, shrubs, hedge plants, and 
shade trees. 
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 
secured from many other nurseries. 
We have been in the nursery business for many years, 
thereby attaining a complete knowledge of what varieties 
are giving the best satisfaction in our trade territory; 
also the best mode of propagation and growing stock, and 
of handling and caring for it when transplanting. 
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 
enabling us to obtain the very best approved varieties. 
Time has proven that our nursery stock transplants and 
thrives in all sections of our country. 
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 and C. R. I. & P. Railway 
Systems, two of the largest in the country. This makes 
our railroad facilities for quick transportation of perish- 
able goods one of the best. We are on U. S. Highways 67 
and 64 and Arkansas Highway No. 11. All good roads by 
which you can easily reach our place at any time. You 
are cordially invited to visit our nursery and inspect our 
trees and plants before you buy. 
To our many customers, whom we have served through 
these many years, we want to thank you for the business 
given us, and offer you in this catalogue greater values 
in nursery stock than we have offered before. Although 
we offer you the same proven quality of trees and plants, 
the prices have not been raised; notwithstanding the in- 
crease in cost of production and higher prices on all other 
commodities. All of these trees and plants are State 
Inspected and attached to your order will be a copy of the 
inspection certificate from our State Plant Board. We 
are sure these plants will please you in every way. 
We want you to go through this book, expecting to find 
values that you know are worth more money than we are 
asking, and that the difference in prices between ours and 
others, who are offering equal quality, is our gift to you. 
You, who have dealt with us from year to year, will be 
quick to see how much more you are being offered in this 
book, than the usual run of prices this season. We want 
you to buy now,.all of the trees and plants you can profit- 
ably use, because we seriously doubt if good nursery stock 
can again be purchased at these low prices. Don’t wait 
another year to plant your home orchard or landscape 
your grounds, for no other dollar you can spend will add 
so much to the worth of your property, nor so much to 
your income. 
PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU ORDER 
In preparing this catalogue, 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 as to 
obtain varieties suited to their locality, and also that a 
succession 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, 
‘n case the order cannot 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 
express. In all cases, the shipment will be at the risk of 
the purchaser, and, if delay or loss occurs in transit, the 
forwarders alone must be held responsible. 
Orders 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 
order, or if C. O. D. wanted, send 25 per cent cash with 
order and other will be sent C. O. D. and to enable you to 
get your order out early, send it in now; this to apply 
to early orders. After shipping season begins we will be 
able to ship promptly on receipt of your order. 
ERRORS.—Customers are requested to send notice at 
once of any error that may be made in filing their orders, 
so that it may be rectified and explained. 
ARTICLES BY MAIL.—Packages of small articles can 
be sent by mail, for the convenience of those who cannot 
be reached by railroad or express. 
THE SHIPPING SEASON.—There can be no definite 
time specified for beginning to ship, either in the spring
