Anton Wilwerding, fruit grower at Freeport, Stearns Co., and Early Strawberry 

 tree in blossom on his place. 



In regard to the question asked in reference to growing apple 

 trees on sandy soil, I know of one orchard on sandy soil. There 

 is an orchard at Litchfield on sandy soil, although the younger 

 trees used to root-kill, but the older trees appear to be right at 

 home and bear an abundant crop. The Hibernal on that soil does 

 very well, but the trees on the low ground do much better than those 

 on high ground.
