THE OLD APPLE TREE shown above was planted by Johnny Appleseed in one of his original nurseries near Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and not far from our own Nursery. It is still living but shows signs of decay after a life of more than a hundred years.

HART’S GUARANTEE
WE GUARANTEE every Tree, Plant, or Vine sold by us to be strong, vigorous and healthy, and to deliver them to you in good condition. If, for any reason, you are not absolutely satisfied with your stock when it is received, advise us at once, and we will gladly replace the items or refund your money.
OUR BUSINESS METHOD
In looking at and studying catalogs for many years we are convinced that many statements made therein, are contradictory, and illustrations used, are over-drawn. We believe this is unfair to the buyer, and opposed to sound business methods.
Why lead people to believe you can make 12 to 15 hundred dollars profit from an acre of strawberries? We do not say this is impossible, but we do say it is improbable. Why not tell the buyer what lie may reasonably expect if lie gives his planting good care? Why say in your catalog that “Cumberland is the largest Raspberry grown,” and in your description that “Logan is as large or Larger than (Cumberland”? This catalog was written with these thoughts in mind. You will not be misled.

CLYDE E. HART KARL V. HART
JUST 5 YEARS AGO we sent out our first catalog, only four hundred copies were printed and mailed to people in North-Eastern Indiana and North-Western Ohio.
We had no idea then that we would have customers and friends in nearly every state in the Union and be sending out several thousand catalogs.
Our business has not yet reached what you would call “a big business,” but each year has seen an increase over that of the preceding one.
You will find all information and variety descriptions in this book accurate and dependable. We do not boost any variety of stock unless it will give good results, for we want you to keep ordering from us year after year.
In closing, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to the many customers who have so generously placed their orders with us in the past and made this business possible. We trust we may have the pleasure of serving you during the coming year.
Sincerely yours,
HART’S NURSERY,

THE 1935 OUTLOOK
MOST PARTS OF THE WEST and middle west experienced the worst drought during the year of 1934 known in recent years.
The statement, “Isn’t God good to Indiana.” was literally fulfilled during the past summer. This was especially true of North-Eastern Indiana where our nursery is located. The rains of early spring gave our plants a good start and b}^ thorough cultivation and an occasional rain we have the best beds of plants we have ever produced.
There is a real shortage this year in good nursery stock. We feel that you should be made aware of this fact so that you can plan the purchase of your nursery require¬ ments for the year to the best advantage.
Government figures show that strawberry production will be from 15 to 20 per cent less, this year than that of 1934. The result of this reduction means higher prices for berries this year.

SECRETS
Of Successful Berry Culture
We are glad to tell any one the things we have learned in growing small fruit. There is one point that has not been stressed by nursery men. Unless your ground is low, and a springy type of soil, your plants should be planted much earlier than is the usual practice. Heavy frosts will not hurt them and they will stand light freezes. A snow on newly set plants is of great benefit.
Do you have trouble getting sufficient plants to make a fruiting row? Straw¬ berry plants are made by the mother plant making new runners. If this new plant does not make roots soon after the new leaves are formed, the under side, where the root¬ lets form, becomes woody and no roots form. If the weather is damp or rainy no difficulty will be experienced, but if it is dry a little earth should be drawn to the plant and this difficulty will be overcome. These early plants are the most valuable plants for fruiting.
Here is one question asked more often than any other: ‘‘What shall I do with the blossoms that come on my newly set plants?’ ’ Wait until about half the berries have begun to develop, then cut off the berries and remaining blossoms. You may have to go over them once more in about a week, but you will find it time well spent.

ADVICE
Now here is our advice: Never go into a business on a big scale that you know little or nothing about. Go slowly. We would much rather sell you 100 plants and see you make a success than sell you 10,000 plants and have you make a failure.
We will be glad to advise you at any time on any matter pertaining to the raising of small fruit. Be free to write us.

Strawberry Plants that are not Drought Stunted
THE ST. JOE VALLEY
The St. Joe Valley, through which the St. Joe river flows, has become a hive of industry in the last few years in the production of small fruits, apples, melons and potatoes. The bluffs along the river and extending back some distance are made up of light sandy loam and is especially suited for berry plants.
The soil seems to be exactly suited to produce heavy crowns and long fibrous roots, which are essentials of a good strawberry plant.
Hundreds of acres of melons and cantaloupes are produced here which find a ready market in Cleveland, Akron, Cincinnati, and other eastern cities.
The Leighty and Widney orchards, among the largest in Indiana, are also located in the valley and produce thousands of bushels of apples each year.

Strawberries
PERFECTION has not been reached in anything. No strawberry is perfect, but like people, some come closer to it than others. We have attempted, with our experience, to tell you the virtues of each variety, as well as their faults.
Many people seem to think because varieties are new that they must be superior to the old. This is not always true. Certain kinds of wheat, for instance Pool, has been raised for years, and is still a standard variety, ranking far above some of the newer varieties. Reed’s yellow dent corn is another variety that still ranks high among corn raisers, though many new varieties are on the market.
Nevertheless, we should always be on the lookout for newer and better varieties.
We list only Perfect Flowering Varieties. That is, you can plant all of our Straw¬ berries alone and they will bear.
We sell 500 Strawberry Plants at the 1,000 rate.

HART’S NURSERY, SPENCER VILLE, INDIANA
PREMIER
THE MOST POPULAR BERRY — No strawberry in recent years has gained the pop¬ ularity that has come to Premier. It has given more general satisfaction than any variety ever introduced — as a market berry it has outclassed all others, though not so well suited for long distance shipping as some other varieties.
When you come to earliness, size, shape, attractiveness, and quality it is hard to beat.
One essential in having a big crop of berries is to have good healthy foliage, without this no variety can produce a good crop. You will find the foliage on Premier just as green at the end of the picking season as at the beginning.
If Premier has any fault it is this: Many have difficulty in getting sufficient plants to make a wide row. They should be planted very early to overcome this dif¬ ficulty.
We have a large acreage of Premier plants and you will make no mistake in planting liberally of this variety.
PRICE: 25 for 40c; 100 for $1.10, prepaid. 1,000 for $6.50, not prepaid.
SENATOR DUNLAP
THE DARK COLORED BERRY — Senator Dunlap has been a household word for many years. It is referred to as “That dark red berry. ” It is not, however, planted so extensively as it was a few years ago, but when it conies to quality and color no other berry can equal it.
Those who wish to grow berries for use in the home can find nothing that equals Dunlap.
The fault with this variety is that it is too productive of plants and in dry weather the berries have a tendency to become small as the season advances.
The plants should be planted much farther apart than such varieties as Premier, Cooper and Gibson, and the rows kept narrowed down by cutting off the new plants after the row is of sufficient width.
If you have never grown strawberries try Dunlap. You can not fail with them. We have a fine stock of plants of this variety.
PRICE: 25 for 30c; 100 for 90c, prepaid. 1,000 for $4.25, not prepaid.
GIBSON
THE HEAVIEST ROOTED PLANT — Gibson is another of the old favorites. They make a wide row of dark green plants, the leaves look like they had been varnished. The berries are very large, handsome in appearance and very sweet. They are valuable for canning and preserving. The berries grow on very short stems, and should be mulched with straw so they may be kept clean.
No plant produces such long roots as Gibson, and they can be planted very late and will produce a fine fruiting row. They do exceptionally well on heavy ground.
PRICE: 25 for 35c; 100 for $1.00, prepaid. 1,000 for $4.50, not prepaid.
BEAVER
Beaver is a new variety which was originated in Wisconsin. It is a very hardy variety, producing a good fruiting row. The berries are of good size, bright red and . very firm. It resembles Premier in many ways. In fact it is a cross of Premier and Dunlap. The plant growth resembles Dunlap, while the berry has all of the charac¬ teristics of the Premier, but not quite so large. It is a much better plant maker than ■ Premier.
PRICE: 25 for 40c; 100 for $1.10, prepaid. 1,000 for $6.50, not prepaid.
HART’S NURSERY, SPENCERVILLE, INDIANA

PEARL
Without doubt the latest berry in existence, often ripening its berries as late as the Fourth of July. It makes the longest runners of any variety I have ever known. The fruit is everything that could be desired. It is large in size, dark red to the heart, and very firm. Its prominent yellow seeds makes it very attractive to the buyer. When Pearl begins to bear, most other varieties are oft the market, and the price received is much higher than mid-season varieties.
PRICE: 25 for 40c; 100 for $1.10, prepaid. 1,000 for $6.50, not prepaid.
AKOMA
Aroma, like Senator Dunlap, is one of the old stand-bys. It has been a great favor¬ ite in the south and middle states.
The berries are light red, always perfectly shaped. The calyx is dark green, giving it a pleasing appearance, making it a good seller.
It is an excellent shipping berry.
PRICE: 25 for 40c; 100 for $1.10, prepaid. 1,000 for $6.50, not prepaid.
BLAKEMORE
This variety is one of the newer varieties introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. We do not think it as good as Premier in the northern part of the country, but in the south it has been received with great favor. It produces the most plants of any variety known. The foliage remains green all through the season.
Blakemore is an ideal shipping berry, it ripens early, and is of a rather light color. Success with this variety demands that they be kept thinned. Try a few plants — they may surprise you.
PRICE: 25 for 35c; 100 for $1.00, prepaid. 1,000 for $4.50, not prepaid.
FAIRFAX
Fairfax, one of the new berries introduced by the Department of Agriculture, is meeting with considerable favor, especially in the East. The quality of the berry ig fine, with healthy foliage. It is well suited for home use, but not quite firm enough for long distance shipping. Fairfax should be tested in every home garden.
PRICE: 25 for 50c; 100 for $1.25, prepaid. 1,000 for $7.50, not prepaid.
DORSETT
This is another of the new varieties; it is a berry of high quality, healthy foliage, large in size, rather light in color and well suited for commercial growers. It is one of the heaviest producers, having yielded over 6,000 quarts per acre in the East. You should try a few of these newer varieties — they might just suit your soil and climate.
PRICE: 25 for 50c; 100 for $1.25, prepaid. 1,000 for $7.50, not prepaid.

COOPER
Cooper plants resemble Beauty in many ways, but are not quite so large. It does not make a large number of plants, but produces berries of immense size. I would not advise a large planting of this variety, but if you wish to surprise your friends with berries of stupendous size plant a few. It is not suited for long distance shipping, but suitable for near-by markets. Cooper makes exceptionally long roots and is able to produce berries in very dry weather.
PRICE: 25 for 40c; 100 for $1.10, prepaid. 1,000 for $6.50, not prepaid.
BEAUTY
Beauty was rightly named. A row of them from a distance resembles a row of potatoes. The plants are immense in size, measuring 15 inches high, with leaves as large as your hand. It does not make many plants, but they produce berries rivaling in beauty those found in pictures. The berries are large in size, dark red, very firm, and remarkable keepers. It is worthy of a trial by all berry producers. Although we do not advise planting them on a large scale.
PRICE: 25 for 40c; 100 for $1.10, prepaid. 1,000 for $6.56, not prepaid.
• - -
The following three varieties are of somewhat recent introduction. They received a lot of high-powered advertising to which a large number of people fell. They each
have some good points, but in other ways they are not so good.
BED GOLD
This variety ripens early, has a fine flavor, the stems are very long; they make plants freely and up to ripening time do very well, but they do not seem able to mature their crop. The foliage does not seem to stand up under the June sun, and the berries remain small and inferior. However, we have some fine plants if you wish to try them.
PRICE: 25 for 30c; 100 for 90c, prepaid. 1,000 for $4.25, not prepaid.
WASHINGTON
Washington is the sweetest berry we have ever known, and up to the fruiting time gives promise of an exceedingly good crop, but from then on they seem to de¬ teriorate. We do know that far north of us they have produced a fine crop of berries.
We can furnish plants to those who wish to try them. However, we do not recom¬ mend them.
PRICE: 25 for 30c; 100 for 90c, prepaid. 1,000 for $4.25, not prepaid.
HARVEST KING
Harvest King is best suited for localities where the soil is somewhat heavy and where difficulty is experienced in getting a fruiting row'. The plants produce a large amount of very sweet berries, but many are inferior in size. The foliage is deficient and many berries sunburn.
PRICE: 25 for 30c; 100 for 90c, prepaid. 1,000 for $4.25, not prepaid.

REMEMBER

MASTODON — (Everbearer)
THU WORLD’S BEST EVERBEARER — We hope you will plant some of our heavy- yielding strain of guaranteed true-to-name Mastodon. We grew the largest crop of berries from this strain of Mastodon we have ever had the pleasure to pick and the demand was so great we were unable to supply our trade with these large improved berries.
Mastodon is a strong, vigorous grower, producing big, juicy, sparkling red ber¬ ries of the most delicious flavor, with a bright green cap, and are firm enough to carry hundreds of miles in perfect condition and command top prices in any market. Mastodon begins fruiting 90 days after the plants are set and keep right on till hard freezing weather in the fall, fruit again with the standard varieties the next spring, and after a lay off of 2 or 3 weeks start fruiting again and with careful attention will produce for another season, or possibly longer. We have selected our plants for the past seven years and now feel we have the best Mastodon plants that can be found. We sold thousands of these plants last year and have a fine supply for the coming season. PRICE: 25 for 55c; 100 for $1.40, prepaid. 1,000 for $9.00, not prepaid.

HONEY ROCK MUSKMELON
Muskmelons, usually referred to as 1 1 Cantaloupes ’ ’ by the trade, are now being raised in Northeastern Indiana and Northwestern Ohio in large quantities, many grow¬ ers raising a hundred acres or more. In going through this section you will find most of them raising the new variety called Honey Rock.
Honey Rock is not the earliest muskmelon grown, but is of the most striking ap¬ pearance, best quality, most productive, and the best shipper of any variety grown. The color is yellow, overlaid with a heavy uniform netting, flesh is dark orange, and the quality is supreme. It matures its fruit in 85 to 90 days from planting.
Seed that is of pure strain, true to type, uniform and of high vitality is the first essential to the growing of a good crop of muskmelons.
We have several hundred pounds of seed grown by the above standard, and we want you to give it a trial this spring and convince you that Honey Rock Musk¬ melons are far in advance of all other varieties. This section being the home of the Honey Rock you can be assured of the pure strain.
PRICES— oz., 20c; i/4 lb., 40c; y2 lb., 75c; 1 lb., $1.40, Postpaid.

Black Raspberries
HOW TO GROW THEM. The soil should be well drained, and not too heavy. Prepare the same as for any other berry plants, and plant in early spring. Should be planted in rows 7 feet apart, and about 3 feet in the row, which requires 2,000 plants per acre. Por home use and in the garden they may be planted closer. Get the roots well below the surface and cut off the old stock a few inches from the ground. When the new growth reaches a height of about 18 to 24 inches, cut off the tip, which will cause them to throw out lateral branches, and stay more upright. The following spring, before leaf growth starts, trim all lateral branches back to about 8 inches in
length, and leave about four good stalks to a hill. When through fruiting, cut out and
burn all old fruiting canes.
CUMBERLAND
Cumberland Black Raspberries have been a standard for years in judging other black raspberries, in fact more Cumberlands are planted than all other varieties com¬ bined. They are noted for flavor, size and productiveness, and always bring top price
on the market. Cumberland has never failed to produce a big crop for us but one
year, and that was caused by a very late freeze, but many latent buds brought some fruit. We have sold thousands of Cumberland Raspberry plants in the past and they give perfect satisfaction because they are healthy, heavily rooted, and fresh dug. We never dig our Raspberry plants in the fall because they often become heated in storage and fail to give good results for the planter. Try them — we guarantee satis¬ faction.
PRICE: 100 for $2.00; 1,000 for $13.50, not prepaid.
NEW LOGAN
New Logan is one of the newer varieties but has been grown in Ohio for several years. The canes and berries resemble Cumberland in many respects. The advantages of this variety over others is that it is a week earlier than other varieties and is the most disease resistent of all. Those who have marketed know the advantage of earli¬ ness in any product — it brings a much higher price than the later varieties. The ber¬ ries are large, jet black, and most delicious. Our advice to you is to grow some Logan along with Cumberland and profit by their earliness.
PRICE: 100 for $2.25; 1,000 for $15.00, not prepaid.
KANSAS
This variety originated in Kansas and is one of the earliest Black Caps. It is be¬ ing grown extensively in some parts of the country, but we recommend it highly for any locality. One of the advantages of this variety is it is very hardy and can be grown in any climate — it will not freeze back and has withstood temperatures of 30 degrees below zero without injury. They do not bear as heavy as some varieties, have a short fruiting season, but the berries are of immense size, very black and as sweet as sugar.
PRICE: 100 for $1.50; 1,000 for $12.00, not prepaid.
PLUM FARMER
An extra early variety that produces well in favorable years. Plants are very healthy, unusually free from disease. The berry is gravish-black, very firm and attrac¬ tive. Plum Farmer is extra early and always brings top prices. It tends to produce too many berries, especially for dry seasons.
PRICE: 100 for $1.50; 1,000 for $12.00, not prepaid.

Red Raspberries
LATHAM
This variety originated in the hardy climate of Minnesota and is without doubt the most popular red raspberry grown. It is a strong, sturdy grower, healthy canes and foliage. Latham holds its shape, does not crumble, and has a most delicious flavor. Excellent for table use and jams. Those who are looking for a market berry will find Latham superior to all others. We guarantee our plants strictly true-to-name and free from disease. PRICE: 100 for $2.00; 1,000 for $15.00, not prepaid.
CHIEF
When looking for an early Red Raspberry stop with this variety, as none other can equal it. Chief was originated in Minnesota; this proves its hardiness. Chief begins bearing before strawberries stop and bridges the gap in berry growing. The outstand¬ ing characteristics of Chief are earliness, large size, excellent flavor and disease re¬ sistance. The price of Chief plants in the past has been very high, but now they are very reasonable. Try them — they will please you.
PRICE: 100 for $2.00; 1,000 for $15.00, not prepaid.
CUTHBERT
Cuthbert is an old stand-by and has been planted for years. It will always be popular. The plants are strong, vigorous growers, having a tendency to branch, which increases the bearing wood. The berries are somewhat cone-shaped, very dark red, and most delicious. They do not bear quite so freely as Latham nor are the berries so large, but when quality is wanted no variety can equal Cuthbert.
PRICE: 100 for $2.00; 1,000 for $15.00, not prepaid.
Purple Raspberries
ROYAL PURPLE
This variety is considered the best of purple raspberries. Some people do not like the flavor of purple raspberries, while others are delighted with them. Royal Purple is a strong, upright grower, with very heavy stalks and loads of fine quality berries. The fruiting season is a few days later than the black caps.
PRICE: 100 for $2.50, not prepaid.

Blackberries
ALFRED ELDORADO
This variety has been on the market only a few years, but in this short length of time has become so popular in many parts of the country that it is fast re¬ placing the old standard kinds. Alfred bears young, producing nearly a full crop of fruit the year after planting. It is a vigorous grower, producing strong, well branched canes, perfectly capable of car¬ rying the big crop of fruit produced. It is perfectly hardy, and can be grown any¬ where. The color is a glossy, jet black, and the flavor sweet and delicious.
PRICE: 25 for 75c, prepaid. 100 for $2.00;
This is one of the leading commercial varieties that has long been popular on account of its hardiness, productiveness and freedom from disease, being especial¬ ly immune to orange rust, the common enemy of all Blackberries. Berries are of good size, color, flavor and quality, holding up well for shipping, and as it fruits over a long season, produces heavy yields that insure a good profit to the grower. There are quite probably more acres of Eldorado now under cultivation, than of all other Blackberries combined.

Perennials
HARDY FLOWERS
Your yard or flower garden is not complete unless you plant several beds of per¬ ennials. These flowers bloom year after year without replanting. They die down in the fall and send new shoots from the roots in the spring. Very little protection is needed to keep them from freezing out in the winter. Our plants are strong, healthy plants, and most varieties will bloom the first year and continue to do so as long as they are cared for. The varieties we list here are standard varieties that have proven satisfactory in this climate and are sure to satisfy.
TRITOMA
TRITOMA (Red Hot Poker). Pfitzeri.

ored purple flowers on stout stalks 5 to 6 ft. high in graceful spikes a foot long. Blooms in July and August.

HARDY CARNATION. Red Grenadin.
These plants are quite hardy, requiring protection only in exposed locations. The large, double flowers are of rich dark red color.

Their great¬ est charm lies in the wonderful stateli¬ ness of growth, and the rich colors and tints of their striking flowers. Nothing in blue can compare with Delphiniums, and for their value in hardy borders they are unsurpassed.
PYRETHRUM. Painted Daisy. Most at¬ tractive hardy perennials which have be¬ come very popular. Valuable border plants with many stems about 2 ft. high, each surmounted with handsome flowers in the brightest shades of rose, flesh-pink, crim¬ son, etc. It blooms from May to July.
