ay Gurney Fruit Trees Are 
 “Whole-Root Budded”’—Not Grafted 
_ _ All desirable varieties of fruit trees are grafted or budded on 
_ root seedlings to propagate these varieties BUT THERE IS DEFINIT 
_ A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY IT’S DONE. Here’s the difference: sm 
i; 
iN <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- 

DING METHOD 
Here the EN- 
sired variety is 
“budded” into its 
sop. It’s bound 
to make you a 
pocping estan ice ew 
, healthier tree n 
the common grafting method 
used by so many nurseries be- 
cause the Gurney WHOLE- 
ROOT buddi method gives 
ou the ENTIRE ROOT not 

" 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 just a piece of a root. Always 
_ like this. You want as much insist on Gurney’s “Whole- 
'_ rootstock on your plant as you Root” Trees. They grow faster, 
_ an possibly get. bear earlier.

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.

by looking at the tree, if the root 
stock used is hardy. BUY YOUR

Plant Plenty 
of BERRIES 
Don’t restrict your victory gar- 
den to growing just the vegetables 
you need. Grow your own fruit, 

too. Plant plenty 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 rqw 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. Yo: 
should leave these on the er anid 
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 
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 |

It’s the 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- 
\ assure perfectly-graded, strong, healthy trees and MORE

ORDER. You plant now for years to come. Be sure you

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 there in 
the garden where you can use 
berry plants.
