проп these that I ar one friend, at any rate, who 
pares off all the fibrous roots which are on the stock 
when he receives it, for he does not believe that the 
roots which are on the stock when he gets it are of 
any value. It is somewhat curious Pa notwith-

ridiculous, for it must ever be borne in mind that

Baker of Exeter and Mr. Jowett of Hereford, grew 
all upon the rere whilst some of finest 
blooms of the p
