It will be noticed that the price of trees advanced this season. The 

 self-boiled lime-sulphur spray was applied to only a small part of the 

 orchard. The price received for the fruit was net at the shipping sta- 

 tion. Returns from the first crop are much more than sufficient to 

 offset all previous expense.
