WHY IT PAYS 
To Buy Nursery Stock 
from a Grower 
When you buy by mail direct 
from the nursery you are dealing 
with the grower. He best knows 
how to grow, dig, pack and ship. 
This means you will get no stor- 
age or store-held stock, and that 
your order will be shipped quick- 
ly and will reach you in the finest 
possible planting condition. All 
this is most important to you be- 
cause you want only stock that 
is most sure to give entire satis- 
faction and bring you the fruit, 
flowers and beauty that you ex- 
pect from your planting. 
Your satisfaction with such stock 
is bound to be greater. 
In City or Country 
Plant Fruit Trees for 
Shade, Blossoms, and 
Fruit 
More home owners are putting fruit trees 
into their plantings of shrubs and flowers. 
Fruit trees make good shade trees, and 
there is no finer sight than fruit trees in 
full bloom in spring or filled with ripe 
fruit in summer and fall. They are equally 
well suited for planting in the city lot or 
farm home. 
Farm Homes-—are up-to-date with new 
plantings of shrubs, roses and perennial 
flowers—and fruit trees in the yard and 
home orchard. 
BALDWIN’'S GUARANTEE 
For 61 years the Baldwins have backed 
up this guarantee to the entire satis- 
faction of their thousands of customers

of charge or refund the purchase price 
paid of any that is not, when we are 
notified within five days of receipt of

ery stock to be true-toname and will, 
on proper proof, at our option, either 
replace free of charge or refund the 
purchase price paid of any stock that 
proves untrue to name. We are, in any 
case, not liable for more than the pur- 
chase price of stock ordered. 
All contracts and agreements are
