WHY YOU SHOULD INSIST ON 
“GURNEY-GROWN” FRUIT TREE 
All Gurney Fruit Trees Are 
“Whole-Root Budded”’—Not Graited 
All desirable varieties of fruit trees are grafted or budded on hardy 
root seedlings to propagate these varieties, BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY 
A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY IT’S DONE. Here’s the difference: 





<THIS IS THE 
o GURNEY 
“WHOLE - 
ROOT” BUD- 
DING METHOD 
. Here the EN- 
(- TIRE SEED- 
LING ROOT is 
used and the de- 
sired variety is 
“pudded” into its 
top. It’s bound 
to make you a 
larger, earlier- 
bearing, healthier tree than 
the common grafting method 
used by so many nurseries be- 
cause the Gurney WHOLE- 
ROOT budding method gives 
you the ENTIRE ROOT not 
just a piece of a root. Always 
insist on Gurney’s “Whole- 
Root” Trees. They grow faster, 
bear earlier. 
<THIS IS AN 
ORDINARY 
FRUIT TREE 
GRAFT as done 
by most nurs- 
eries. Just a 
small piece of 
seedling root is 
used and a piece 
of the desired va- 
riety is “grafted” 
on this little 
chunk of seed- 
ling rootstock. In 
this method the 
tree is liable to 
have a small root system as it 
has to re-grow it after grafting 
and there is danger of root dis- 
ease from cutting these roots. 
Don’t take a chance on stock 
like this. You want as much 
rootstock on your plant as you 
can possibly get.

‘ 

he Results That Count 
One of a grower’s most disappointing experiences is to 
find after buying and caring for a tree for a year or two or 
three, to have it bear the wrong kind of fruit. That means 
wasted money, wasted time, wasted effort. 
THAT WON’T HAPPEN AT GURNEY’S. Only experts 
work on our trees, and checkers constantly check on every- 
one’s work. Every tree goes through many inspections to 
assure perfectly-graded, strong, healthy trees and MORE 
You plant now for years to come. 
All Gurney Fruit Trees Are 
Budded on Hardy Root Stock 
’ Here’s another difference in trees 
that isn’t apparent just looking at 
trees. Some fruit trees are budded or 
grafted on tender, southern-grown 
seedlings, BUT AT GURNEY’S ALL 
FRUIT TREES ARE BUDDED ON 
THE HARDIEST ROOT-STOCK 
“KNOWN EVEN THOUGH IT COSTS 
US A GOOD DEAL MORE. Gurney’s 
apples are budded on hardy Baccata 
stock, not tender French apple seed- 
lings. Peaches are budded on hardy 
plum, not tender peach seedlings, etc.

of BERRIES 
Don’t restrict your victory gar- 
den to growing just the vegetables 
you need. Grow your own fruit, — 
too. Plant plen of raspberries, 
blackberries, strawberries, too. They 
don’t take much space and they — 
give you worlds of fruits in a hurry. 
How to Plant 
RASPBERRIES 
Set three feet apart in rows 6 — 
feet apart. Cut out fruiting cane 
or branches to the ground imme- 
diately after fruit is picked. Takes ~~ 
2500 plants per acre. Set black- 
berries and handle same as rasp~ 
berries, except setting them farther 
apart—about 4 to 5 feet apart in 
the row and the rows 7 feet apart. 
Takes around 1400 plants to the 
acre. 
How to Plant 
BOYSEN- 
BERRIES 
Boysenberries should be planted ~ 
6 feet apart each way and this will 
take 1100 plants to the acre. You © 
should leave these on the ground — 
the first winter, cut off half the 
tops and mulch with straw after | 
cold weather. These should then | 
be trained on wires and each year 
after fruiting cut out the canes 9 
that bore fruit. Leave the new ' 
growth each year on the ground, 
and cover, then put up over wires 
which should be three-foot high 
on each side of the row. All these} 
plants could be set closer for gar- | 
den planting and you can gener- © 
ally find a corner here and therein = _
