We have had very successful business this past year, 
sending out huge quantities of seed and nursery 
- stock to our customers throughout the Northwest 
and the country.

: Judging from the nice letters we have received, 
George W. Gurney U 
; telling of fine gardens and farm crops, it looks like ; 
our customers. have had a good year, too. We like to think that some of the 
credit for this success is due to the quality see n hi

_,A few customers were disappointed in not getting what they ordered. 
We're sorry for this, but everything was scarce last spring, and some things 
we just couldn't get help to grow, or couldn’t buy elsewhere. It was a case 
of first geome, first served, and we know it will be the same again this sea- 
son. So ORDER EARLY, and be sure of getting what you want and need. 
. s s . 
All the nursery stock listed here can be safely planted in the Fall, and it 
will get an extra six months of growth over Spring planted stock.

_ right for landscaping now. :

_Take a look at the Field Seed listings in this catalog. I believe you will 
_ find them as. complete as any anywhere, and prices are right as they al- 
ways are at Gurney’s. Some of these items are very scarce, and can’t be 
had at most seed outlets. But we have them, because we anticipated your 
needs and bought or grew them in advance.

Dear Friend: These trees are 7 
years old. They were planted at 
Hager City, Wisconsin, by Gottfred 
Hullander, who is a real Gurney 
customer. Through him I started 
erdering your seeds. We enjoy the 
Question Box in the magazine most 
of all. I also want to thank you 
for the quick service I received on 
the Grimm Alfalfa, I telephoned 
my order on Friday and received

Flowers In A Hurry 
Folks are always writing in to us want- 
ing to know how they can plant some- 
thing that will give them blooms in a 
hurry. I can tell you the answer to that 
and that is hardy Iris. If you will get 
them planted this fall and not wait un- 
til next spring, they will come out and 
- bloom gorgeously for you next year. Fall 
o 

can look forward 
is the ideal, natural and correct time to 
plant Iris, so turn to the Iris section, 
pick out the varieties you want, espe- 
cially some of the red and pink vari- 
eties, and get them planted now. You

blooms next year. 
P, 8. By the way, plant Iris very shal- 
- low—most folks plant them too deep— 
' they may be almost planted on top of 
_ the ground. 
Plan Now For Your : 
45 Tomato Crop 
Tomato leaf spot has been very bad 
the last two years. It is recognized by 
the small circular spots with light cen- 
ters and dark ,edges. It is found first 
on the lower leaves, gradually working 
upward causing the leaves to curl, dry 
up and fall off. 
We recommend the following control 
measures: : 
- 4. Sanitation—All tomato vines, ground 
cherry, nightshade, other weeds should 
be carefully gathered and burned in the 
~ fall. 
2. Plant on new ground if possible. 
3. Avoid damp locations and crowded 
plantings. 
4. Don’t work or pick when vines are 
damp. 
5. Spray both upper and lower surfaces 
of the -leaves, stems and branches with 
44-50 Bordeaux Mixture, at 10 to 14 day 
intervals. 
Clipper Cleaners 
We will have a few Clipper Mills (2B 
size) to offer this fall. The 2B size comes 
complete with the 12 Gurney Screens at 
$52.00. F.O.B. Yankton.

“Gentlemen: Last year I tried your 
seed in Vermont where I was working 
and it was most satisfactory. I started 
the corn in small boxes in a greenhouse 
and set it out one rainy day. All my 
friends and perhaps. you, too, will snick- 
er—they laughed out loud. The corn 
flourished and was delicious, about two 
weeks earlier than other corn in the 
neighborhood. I didn’t have time to 
laugh: back—too busy  eating.’’—Miss
