_ Nursery stock is produced largely by hand work. Skilled 
_ workers have been scarce for the past four years. Since it 
_ requires from two to four years to produce most nursery 
_ stock, many items will be scarce again this spring and also 
next. 
_ _ Last year there was the greatest demand for Nursery 
_ Stock ever known. This Spring it may be as great— perhaps 
even greater. 
_ We have made careful plans to handle your orders this 
_ season. We have listed in this catalog only the best and 
_ most popular varieties, leaving out those for which there 
is only a limited demand. : 
Extra Values for you 
_ We have also listed fewer sizes of trees and roses. For exam- 
_ ple, our super-size fruit trees are no longer listed; we ship 
_ them with the next size. Our super-size roses are put with 
_our selected 2-year No. 1 size roses. 
# ) By having fewer varieties and sizes, we can fill orders 
_ more quickly and efficiently and you get that much greater 
- value through these savings. 
_ _ Mail Your Order Early 
_ Many customers were disappointed last year by having 
_ their late orders returned due to stocks having been 
_ exhausted. To save disappointment and to gain a year’s 
_ growth, we urge you to order early. Your Nursery Stock 
A. 
_ will be shipped at the proper planting time. 
_ On page 3 is a list of premiums you get for ordering 
_ early. Be sure to list the premiums you wish on your order 
_ so all can be sent in one shipment. 
_ When you are through with your Spring Catalog, per- 
_ haps your neighbor would like to see it. Thank you.

Order Early—Much Nursery Stock Will Be Scarce This Spring 
How to Order 
In the comfort and privacy of your own home, you can 
look through this catalog and select Inter-State’s Guaran- 
teed Nursery Stock and Seeds. 
1. Write your order for Nursery Stock and Bulbs on the 
order blank on the back of this page. 
2. Write your order for Seeds on the order blank at the 
back of the catalog between pages 82 and 83. . 
If you run out of our order blanks you can use any sheet of 
paper, but be sure to put your orders for Seeds and orders 
for Nursery Stock on separate sheets of paper. You can 
mail both orders in the same envelope. This will help us 
both since our Seeds are handled in a separate department 
and are shipped at once while Nursery Stock is shipped at 
the proper planting time in your locality. 
3. Write your full name and complete address on both 
orders. 
In making out your orders please write or print very plain- 
ly, giving your full name and complete address, street or 
rural route. Also list your nearest express office if it is dif- 
ferent from your post office as we sometimes ship by pre- 
patd express instead of parcel post unless you object. 
4. Order all items by catalog number. 
This helps us give you better service and helps avoid 
mistakes. List quantity, variety and size of items wanted. 
5. Total amount on both orders and send us money 
order, draft or check. 
If you send currency or cash, wrap it carefully and register 
your letter. A money order is a better way to send payment. 
Sales Tax 
Customers living in Iowa will add 2% to the amount of 
their order, which the Iowa Sales Tax Law requires us to 
collect.
