FRUIT TREES AND SMALL FRUITS. 



The fruit trees we oSer are excellent young stock. Trees when received should be planted at once in rich, prepared soil, the 

 roots being carefully separated and spread. If dry weather follows planting, the trees must be watered and mulched. Branches of 

 last season's growth should be well cut back, thus encouraging the vigorous growth of new shoots
